KMC Eagles (3) Gets Big Win In Friendly Match

9-4 was the final score.  Normally E3 would be on the losing end of that score line but not on this day.  E3 now knows what it feels like to be on the winning end of a blowout. 

KMC Eagles E-3 played the Wiesbaden Viking’s B team in a friendly match in Mainz.  The team arose early on a Sunday morning to make the drive and play some early morning hockey.  The Eagles brought 3 full forward lines and 2 defense lines however, we lost center Steve Cotta early in the first period due to an ankle injury. 

The game didn't start out so well when, early in the game, the first line dominated possession in the zone but couldn't put one in.  Wiesbaden broke out quick, beat the D and scored the first goal of the game.  After that point, the Eagles seemed to find their legs and quickly dominated for the majority of the game. 

It was a great game for the developing Eagles team to practice some much needed game time situations.  The team showed great improvement overall.  It was also a great confidence booster. 

This team could be trouble for DPL Division 4A come playoff time. 

Goals were scored by :

Todd Lutz (2)

Ludwig Schweinfurth (2)

Craig Domko (2)

Shawn Boos (1)

Kirk Brower (1)

Ruediger Schulte (1) on a penalty shot

Heather Cohen scored but the goalie knocked it out and the ref didn't see it cross the line so it didn't count. 

Goalies Mike Kwain and Gabe Bjorkman split the time in the net.  Both goal tenders played solid with each stopping many shots and only letting in 2 goals apiece.
