| The Game Story: | EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ - The Philadelphia Wings' defeated the New Jersey Storm
by a score of 16-15 at the Continental Airlines Arena in a much needed road
win. The Wings received some much-needed offensive power with eight
different players contributing with goals. The Wings take to the turf again
this Saturday when they face the Rochester Knighthawks at the First Union
Center at 8 p.m.
"This is obviously a critical win for this team," said Wings' coach Adam
Mueller. "After struggling offensively, we were finally able to score some
goals this evening. This game is a great confidence builder as we head home
to play the New York Saints at home on Saturday night."
The Storm started the scoring just :36 into the first quarter when
Roy Colsey scored unassisted. New Jersey's Neal Powless got his first of
the night also unassisted at 6:06 but the Wings put their first of the night
up just :18 later when Keith Cromwell scored his first goal of the night.
Scott Stewart answered right back for the Storm just 1:11 later to keep the
Storm up by two. Cromwell recorded his second of the night at 8:36 followed
by Jeff Ratcliffe's first goal of the night at 8:56 to tie the score at
three. New Jersey answered right back with a goal by Cam Bomberry to put
New Jersey in the lead again followed by a goal by Bobby Horsey to put the
Storm up by two. Michael Ladouceur scored the Storm's sixth goal at 11:02

first quarter the Storm led the Wings by a score of 7-3.
Philadelphia struck first in the second quarter with Tom Marechek's
first goal of the game at 1:13 followed by Jeff Spano's first of the night
exactly 1:00 later. The Wing's Tony Henderson followed up just :30 later to
pull the Wings within one, then Paul Cantabene tied it with his first of the
night. The Storm pulled starting goaltender Derek General at 3:29 and
replaced him with former Wing Chris Sanderson. Defenseman Ryan Traynor put
the Wings in the lead for the first time at 4:29. New Jersey tied it at
eight when Horsey scored his second goal of the night at 5:06. The Storm
regained the lead when Billy LeFeuvre scored at 6:38, but the Wings tied it
