Sharks East Coast Sweep Stopped In New England
The Sharks were down at halftime, 3-2, (goals by Brian Coleman from Devin Dwyer). In the third quarter, Greenwich added another goal and the status quo continued until Sean Mahon ripped an unassisted shot into the goal at the horn to narrow the deficit to a goal. In the 4th quarter, Tom Gordon tied the score with 5 minutes remaining on an assist from Dwyer. In the meantime, Shark's defenders Stephen Jahelka, Brian Fischer, Brian Porter, Tom Adams, executed almost flawlessly the Shark of shutting down Greenwich strong hand shots, but somehow Greenwich managed to come up with the game winner with about a minute left to play and chalked up an extra goal in the final seconds of play. This rivalry has resulted in some outstanding lax and defensive gems.
The game against Ridgewood was a battle at the outset. Ridgewood scored a couple of quick goals and retreated into a zone defense that allowed them to hold a halftime lead. In the second half, the Sharks were realigned into an offense that cut the seams of the Ridgewood zone. They made some tactical changes in the shot placement and were able to score some goals and take the lead for the first time in the game. In the meantime, Goalies John Bock & Dan Marino and Shark defenders Brian Fischer, Brian Porter and JP Burnside, with Eugene Berkery and Andre Stone stepped it up a notch to overcome the absence of Stephen "The Beast" Jahelka. Their second half effort allowed the Sharks to score on goals by Devin Dwyer, Matt Clarkson, Tom Gordon(2), Sean Mahon, Matt Confort & Liam Kennedy on assists from each other and Pat Berkery, Brian Coleman and Shane Thornton. Rob Savage played without fear, getting ground balls and brushing off crushing body checks. Charlie Garcia, Brendan Cullen, Kyle Irwin, Mike Lofrese and John Fallon also each contributed to the Sharks come from behind victory.
