Express Sink Sailors in Southern Counties Playoff Action

Sunday morning the Ingersoll Express Searles Motor Products Novice Rep team hosted the Port Dover Sailors in their final round robin playoff game.  With playoff positioning on the line, some missing players still away from March Break that brought on key call ups within our organizations other Novice teams the Express needed this win not to fall in the fourth and final playoff spot.
Port Dover opened the scoring on phantom goal that managed to somehow to find the back of the cage to give them a early 1-0 lead.  Midway through the second period Alex Schuett (assisted by Davin Gray, Wyatt Adkins) broke free along the wing and was able to fight off the Port Dover defender to even the score.  Nine seconds later Schuett took a great pass from Davin Gray in front of the net to bank home another goal.  Schuett (assisted by Gavin Bryant) completed the hat trick for Ingersoll when he scored top shelf to give the Express a bit of breathing room for the 3-1 lead. Late in the third period Port Dover made one last offensive push but Express goalie Gabe Robinson shut the door on any thoughts of a comeback as he made some spectacular saves.  Late in the game Schuett (assisted by Davin Gray and Wyatt Adkins) kept it rolling offensively as he tallied his fourth goal of the game to give the Express the 4-1 win.  With the win the Express have secured a semi final position in Southern Counties playoffs and will most likely travel to Paris this week.
