Luke Flicek scored a goal and added an assist, leading Army to a 2-1 victory over visiting Sacred Heart Sunday afternoon before 1,643 fans at West Point’s Tate Rink. <\/p>\n
The win snapped a seven-game losing streak to the Pioneers in the series and moved the Black Knights to 4-2-1 over their last seven contests this winter. The game was the second of a split home-and-home series. SHU defeated Army, 4-1, last Tuesday evening in Milford, Conn. <\/p>\n
Flicek’s game-winning goal came with 2:41 left in the second period. The sophomore winger re-directed a shot from the top of the left faceoff circle by Bryce Hollweg past Sacred Heart goalie Jason Smith, giving the Black Knights a 2-0 lead. <\/p>\n
Freshman defenseman Zach McKelvie had put Army up 1-0 just over two minutes into the middle frame with a power play goal. Standing in the slot area, McKelvie slapped a rebound past Smith off a shot from Flicek. Senior defenseman Corey Rudd picked up an assist on both Army goals, finishing with two points on the afternoon. <\/p>\n
The Pioneers answered midway through the third period, breaking up Army goalie Brad Roberts’ shutout bid with a power play goal by Scott Marchesi. The sophomore defenseman slapped a rebound past Roberts during a mad scramble in front. Andrew Billinghurst fired a shot on net that Roberts knocked down. However, the Black Knights couldn’t corral the puck. <\/p>\n
Roberts made 28 saves to pick up the win in net. Smith stopped 30 shots for the Pioneers in a losing effort.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
