Saturday Matinee

A new team on the schedule brought hopes of the Oilers notching there 4th win of the season and that's exactly what they did when they traveled to Saginaw to take on Nouvel Catholic on the 21st.

The Oilers came out of the gates flying and quickly jumped to a three goal lead in the first period. Scoring were Robert Backus, Jesse McDevitt-Irwin and Evan Huber with assists going to Huber, Bruce Bolles, Dan Pulver and Backus.

The second period between the two teams was entertaining from a fans point of view but frustrating from a Coaches point of view. NCC scored two goals climbing back in to the game, but Mt. pleasant added two of their own keeping their lead at 3. Nick Coscarelly and Evan Huber both scored in the 2nd and both goals were assisted by Dan Pulver.

The third was even more frustrating as the Panthers out shot the Oilers heavily 19-3, but Sophomore goalie Adam Salisbury was able to make 17 saves on those 19 shots and Mt. Pleasant escaped with a much needed 5-4 victory.

Our record now sits at 4-7 and we will battle Midland next Wednesday night at home.
