<\/a>Quickly.<\/p>\n
The Chargers netted three goals in the final four minutes of regulation to force overtime, and came close to winning in OT with the man advantage.\u00a0 The game ended tied at four.<\/p>\n
It’s not surprising that no one in green and white was happy when all was over, but on the other side of the rink, UAH was just as displeased.\u00a0 Chargers head coach Chris Luongo said that the slow starts are a puzzle UAH is trying to solve and he made it clear that there’s no such thing as a moral victory.<\/p>\n
“It’s not a two period game,” said Luongo outside of a Chargers locker room that was dead silent.<\/p>\n
“We didn’t outplay them enough, and we really didn’t give ourselves an opportunity enough.<\/p>\n
“Really, it’s not ‘we.’\u00a0 I’m not necessarily pointing a finger, but our [locker] room needs to solve that.\u00a0 As a group, they need to solve it.\u00a0 When it comes down to it, they’re the guys that provide the emotion.\u00a0 Ultimately, it is up to them.”<\/p>\n
“They only had two scoring chances the first two periods, and they scored on one of them,” said<\/p>\n
MSU head coach Rick Comley. In the final minutes, the Chargers went “from protecting to attacking,” said Comley.\u00a0 “We were sloppy.”<\/p>\n
Zach Golembiewski opened the scoring for the Spartans in the first period at 9:39, a soft goal on an essentially empty net after the puck squeaked through the legs of UAH goaltender C.J. Groh, who was turned around and facing the net at the left post.\u00a0 All Golembiewski had to do was tap it home.<\/p>\n
MSU led 2-1 after one on goals by Daultan Leveille and Jake Chelios that sandwiched Charger Keenan Desmet’s second marker of the season.\u00a0 Leveille’s goal was a wrap-around at 4:43.<\/p>\n
Desmet answered when he converted a turnover in front of the MSU net at 10:26.\u00a0 Chelios’ goal at 19:03 looked like an innocent shot through traffic from the left point.\u00a0 Spartans 4, Chargers 1.<\/p>\n
“I think a bunch of guys thought it was kind of in the bag, third period coming around and being up three goals,” said Leveille.\u00a0 “I think we sat back a bit too much and got away from our systems.<\/p>\n
“We were trying to play a bit too defensive and let them have too much ice and that caught up to us in the end.”<\/p>\n
In the end is right.\u00a0 Cseter started the third-period flurry for the Chargers, finishing Desmet’s hard work behind the goal.\u00a0 Desmet fought to keep the puck close to the MSU net and handed off to Cseter, who skated across the crease and lifted the puck up and over Drew Palmisano on the glove side.<\/p>\n
