RIT co-captain Jerry Galway had two goals and two assists to lead RIT over the host Fredonia Blue Devils 7-2 on Sunday in the championship game of the fifth annual Fredonia Invitational tournament. It was RIT’s second championship in three trips to this tournament.<\/p>\n
The Tigers raced to a 3-0 lead with first-period goals by Mike Tarantino, Galway and co-captain Derek Hahn.<\/p>\n
All three were highlight-film goals, especially the one by Galway, as he raced into the Fredonia zone and blasted a loose puck over the shoulder of Fredonia goaltender Jamie Kosecki.<\/p>\n
Tarantino, a freshman from Oakville, Ontario, assisted on both RIT goals in the second period, as the Tigers increased their lead to 5-0. First Rob Vessio scored on a shot from the far point that seemed to surprise Kosecki. Then Mike Moore scored on a shot from the near point that trickled between the goaltender’s pads.<\/p>\n
Fredonia got on the board at 6:29 of the third period when a shot by Marcel Hurtubise deflected off the leg of Erik Dolesh past RIT netminder Tyler Euverman.<\/p>\n
RIT regained its five-goal cushion just 1:27 later when, on the power play, Pete Bournazakis scored his third goal of the tournament off some pretty passing by Galway and Hahn.<\/p>\n
The Tigers made it 7-1 at midway through the third on Galway’s second of the game, also a power-play goal.<\/p>\n
Fredonia closed out the scoring at 16:34 on goal by Mike Mason. With a man advantage, the Blue Devils cycled the puck well and Marc Fattey found Mason alone in front of the RIT net. The freshman buried the puck to make it 7-2.<\/p>\n
“I think we played well enough to win, and now we know what we need to work on this week,” RIT coach Wayne Wilson said. ” We made some mistakes, but for the most part I was pleased with the way we played in this tournament.<\/p>\n
“Our veteran players stepped up, which we’re going to need to be successful.”<\/p>\n
Shots on goal were 42-28 in favor of the Tigers.<\/p>\n
Hahn, with two goals and three assists on the weekend, was named tournament MVP.<\/p>\n
The all-tournament team was: forward Pete Bournazakis of RIT; forward Jason Furness of Fredonia; forward Joe Pecoraro of Oswego; defenseman Nate Elliot of Oswego; defenseman Jerry Galway of RIT; and goaltender Tyler Euverman of RIT.<\/p>\n
