2004 Meadville Bulldog Invitational
Prep turns back host Bulldogs and marches to Bulldog final !
MEADVILLE
The PIHL North division was a two team race between North Allegheny and Meadville the past two years. Quietly, Cathedral Prep has climbed back into the divsion race and hopes to challenge for the 2002 division title. The Ramblers lost earlier this season to Meadville 3-2 in Erie.
The first period was well played and both teams had scoring chances as John Freeman and Dan O'Sharuk kept the scoreless tie through 15 minutes.
In the second, Freeman made a great stop on Christian Nickerson, who got behind the Rambler defense. Feeding off his goaltender's play, ECP's Jeff Dionisio elashed a wicked wrist shot past O'Sharuk to put the Ramblers on top 1-0. Then, with the Bulldogs on the power play, Sam Namey stripped the Dawgs defense and scored on a SH breakaway and all the sudden it was 2-0 at 3:41.
Meadville came right back as Dave Moyer scored from his knees on the rebound to cut the lead to 2-1. Matt Rusilko banged home a Jeff Holabaugh rebound at 1:40 to tie the score at 2-2 at the end of two periods.
On to the third and Dionisio scored a pretty goal as he gained the zone circled back and walk down the slot and used a screen to beat O'Sharuk on the stick side with 9:30 remaining. Then Dan Sweeney added an insurance goal at 8:46 and the Ramblers shut down Meadville the rest of the way for a 4-2 victory.

Malvern Prep serves notice to Western Pa !
MEADVILLE -
The Malvern Prep Friars came to Meadville playing at the top of their game. A very skilled team with excellent goaltending, the Friars went through Meadville like it was a western town and they were coming through to send the message knowing that they would return.
Malvern defeated Greensburg CC, Upper St Clair, and Meadville and then schooled LaSalle earlier in the day. Nels White's Cathedral Prep club is playin strong hockey over the past month and looked to be a formidable opponent for Malvern.
The teams traded goals in the first and as they did earlier in the day, the Friars scored three in the second and added anther in the third for a 5-1 victory over the Ramblers.
Chris Campanale tallied two goals and Warren Byrne, Tim Wochok, and Andreas Wochtl added singles for Malvern Prep, while Pete Zawistowski scored the lone ECP goal. Malvern outshot Cathedral Prep 27-10.
Friar forward Mike McMullen was chosen the tournament most valuable player.
As the Malvern bus left Western Pennsylvania, I am sure somewhere they left a note that they will be returning for a date in the Pennsylvania Cup AAA Finals in March.

DELMONT -
Blue Devil coach Paul Taibi is a quiet guy who is always thinking. Taibi is thinking maybe he would like another
shot at the Blackhawks in the playoffs.
After Mt Lebanon nearly came within one Bethel Park mistake of beating the two-time defending state champion on Monday, the Blue Devils were on the road to face a Franklin club, who is very dangerous fighting for their playoff lives.
Mt Lebanon owns losses to BP, NA and Meadville this season and has done a great job against teams fighting to gain position behind them. The first period was all Blue Devils as the came out smokin with a 3-0 lead behind goals from Conrad Waite, Dan O'Connell amd Bill Leckenby and outshot the Panthers 17-6.
The second period was more of the same as Mike Colligan blasted home a shot past Brandon Stallard just 12 seconds in to make it 4-0. Leckenby scored just 15 seconds later to make it 5-0 and chase Stallard in favor of Chris Zeleznak, who stopped 20 of 21 Blue Devil shots the rest of the way.
Chris White got Franklin on the board to break Colin Sebastian's shutout bid, who had another strong performance in stopping 26 of 27 shots.
In the third period Waite scored his second of the evening to put the final touches on an impressive 6-1 Blue Devil victory, which included a shot advantage of 41-27. ![image](https://photos-images.active.com/file/1/60/604905/original/145e4da2-f53b-4d0f-bcfc-90beb70171b6.gif)

1/14 - Greensburg CC making a move in Class AA

Mt Lebanon -
A matchup between Canevin and Greensburg CC always has playoff implications. Centarians coach Butch Marrietta and Crusaders coach Greg Timmons own six Pennsylvania State Championships between them (3 apiece) and are no strangers to big games.
This matchup is a tale of two teams heading in what seems like different directions. While Canevin is licking its wounds with injuries to star players Dane Hetland and Justin Holzer, GCC is starting to rev up the engines for a playoff run.
Discipline would be the story early in this game as the shorthanded Crusaders took a couple of ill-advised penalties in the first period. Maunee George scored on the power play at 7:21 taking a point blank feed from Tom Talamo to make it 1-0. Colin Ludwig added to the lead on a beautiful cross crease pass from Matt Ward at 2:16.
Canevin dug a deeper hole as Regis McGrath was issued a double minor and a ten minute misconduct. GCC made the Crusaders pay as Pat Bates and Matt Ward scored a little over a minute apart and suddenly the Centarians were up 4-0. Ludwig then picked the pocket of the Canevin defense and fed Ward at the side of the net to make it 5-0.
At the other end Jake Genes made several nice stops in trying to earn a shutout, but Rick Nolte finally got Canevin on the board with 1:35 left to make the final 5-1 in favor of GCC. Pat Smith, the Canevin goaltender, was spectacular at times and held his team in the game. ![image](https://photos-images.active.com/file/1/60/604905/original/dda42450-9ee9-41a3-9f35-2b4c50a29701.gif)
