HARMARVILLE -
Deer Lakes entered their game with Westmont Hilltop needing to sweep its remaining three games to remain in playoff contention. The Hilltoppers on the other hand are still hoping to face Mars for an opportunity for the PIHL A North Division.
Brian Willet put Westy on top at 12:45 of the first period. The Lancers countered with goals by Matt DiSanti and Matt Jones to take a 2-1 lead at 8:27. Westmont's Sean Dorian tied the game with just 41 seconds remaining, but DiSanti took the faceoff and scored eleven seconds later as Deer Lakes regained the lead 3-2.
Sean McIntyre gave the Lancers a two-goal cushion at 11:43 of the second period.
It only took Westmont less than a minute to tie it as Brian Willet and Justin McClosky scored 6 seconds apart. Then penalties took over in the middle of the period as Sean McIntyre got a breakaway on the power play and shoved a backhander past Steve Costic to give Deer Lakes the lead at 7:44.
Back came Westy as McClosky stole the puck from Deer Lakes and raced end to end and beat Richard Andemark on the backhand to tie the game again at 2:34. Then Sean Dorian gave Westmont the lead as he found a loose puck and scored on the back hand to give Westy the lead 6-5.
In the third period, Westmont received a huge break when McIntyre's shot from the point glanced of a Hilltopper defenseman and deflected off the post early in the period.
Then Westy killed a 6 on 3 in the games final two minutes to preserve a victory over Deer Lakes, who outshot the Hilloppers 23-22.
