On Saturday, the Hockey team welcomed South Lyon United for a rematch of an LHS barn burner win back in November.  After a memorable Senior Night ceremony the puck dropped in front of a warm crowd of Lakeland and South Lyon faithful supporters.

Lakeland broke out of the gate first with junior Carter Sutton (Elliot Smith, Tyler Buback) scoring his first Eagle goal fresh off the IR list.  SLU tied it up on a powerplay scramble later in the period.  But with just 13 seconds remaining, Joe Sesi wristed a shot from the point and as he's been doing all season, Captain Brennan Grant hypnotically tipped Sesi's shot into the SL net for a mind bending 2-1 Lakeland lead after one period.

The second period found the Eagles beating a path to the penalty box and to the scoresheet.  The Eagles combined for three shorthanded goals.  One from Adam Tryzcinski (Dell) then two from Austin Scanlon (Dell and Hinkle).  Senior Brendan Day scored his first goal of the season off a nice PP feed from Killian Voorhies and Carter Sutton.  Lakeland clamped down on SLU in the third and eased into the W with Grant scoring his second of the night by walking around a befuddled SLU defenseman (assist to Joe Sesi).   As he did in the first LHS-SLU game, Nate Dell capped off the scoring (Reid Sutherland and Ryan Danielson) to ice the game.

Coach Ronayne: "The game was tight in the first but the mood was good thanks to the Grant-Sesi last minute goal.  Paul and our D held them to one goal and all of our scoring cylinders were firing tonight.  Another good team win."

The Eagles fly south to Kensington Valley on Thursday 1/18 to take on WLP united.  ETD 7 pm.
