CRANBERRY - North Allegheny survived the first round in beating a gritty Franklin Regional squad in double overtime to advance against ECP. Coach Nels Whites Ramblers were looking to get back into the Penguin Cup Semi-Finals after a sabatical last season. NA's Jeff Hall picked up right where he left off in the FR game scoring just 44 seconds into the first period. Prep came back with two goals late in the first by Sam Namey and Mike Boiling to take a 2-1 lead after one. Early in the second, Prep's Pat Figurski scored to extend the lead to 3-1, but Hall came back just 16 seconds later to cut the lead to 3-2. The Ramblers shut the door on the Tigers over the final period and a half aloowing only 12 shots and Jon Freeman stopped them all to secure the 3-2 victory and a Semi-Final date with Mt Lebanon.
