and junior John Flanagan (Smithtown, NY) each had two goals and two
assists as 14th-ranked Rutgers earned a hard-fought 10-6 win over
Manhattan on Tuesday evening at Yurcak Field. With the win, the Scarlet
Knights improve to 6-2 overall.
Rutgers dominated play in the first quarter, scoring the games first
three goals and outshooting Manhattan 13-2. Senior Tim White (Rockville
Center, NY) netted an unassisted goal with 12:20 to play, followed by the
first career goal from freshman defensemen Daren Ohiokpehai (Lutherville,
MD), who beat Manhattan goalie John Landers. Freshman Chris Doctor
(Skaneateles, NY) made the score 3-0 when he took a feed from Flanagan
with 7:21 left in the first quarter.
Midway through the second period, Rutgers made the score 4-0 on
Flanagan's first goal of the night, but Manhattan fought back when Justin
Otto scored his only goal of the night. Rutgers took a 4-1 lead into the
locker room and outshot the Jaspers 21-7 in the first half.
Manhattan drew to within two, 4-2, with four minutes gone in the third
quarter, but Rutgers responded with scores from Flanagan and Delby
Powless (Hagersville, Ontario) to build a 6-2 lead heading into the
fourth quarter.
Leif Blomquist (Long Beach, NY) gave RU its largest lead of the game
(7-2) at the 13:58 mark of the fourth quarter, but Manhattan proved to
have plenty of offense left in it. Greg Lewis scored for the Jaspers
just 24 scores after Blomqust, pulling Manhattan to within four. Brian
Murray and Nick Cacciatore then raddled off back-to-back scores and the
score was suddenly 7-5 with just over 10 minutes to play.
Any hope of a Manhattan comeback was squashed when Jamie Lovejoy
(Holbrook, NY) scored off a feed from Flanagan. Rodgers added an
insurance goal with 7:16 to play and closed out the scoring with a goal
at the 2:27 mark of the fourth quarter.
In net, goalie Greg Havalchak (Corning, NY) made seven saves. Aside from
his goal, Ohiokpehai also contributed with four ground balls. Freshman
Matt Gaines (Abingdon, MD) won 11-of-17 face-offs and had five ground
balls.
Rutgers returns to action on Sunday, April 10, when it travels to
sixth-ranked Princeton at noon. The game can be seen live on CSTV.
