Illini
hope to short circuit the Golden Flashes
 |
Kent
State looking for points |
October
29, 2003 - The Illini are getting set to
take on another Central States Collegiate Hockey
League
team
that has yet to earn any league points. This weekend
Illini Hockey heads to Northern Ohio to take on the
3-2 Golden Flashes of Kent State. The Flashes are
coming off of a weekend sweep of West Virginia, but
much like Eastern Michigan when they came to town,
are still looking for their first points against
another CSCHL team. The Flashes only losses this
season came against the Bobcats of Ohio University
who are currently sitting in first place in league
points. The Illini are coming off of their first
lost of the
season and would like to get back on track with two
road wins at Kent State. The Illini currently find
themselves tied with Michigan-Dearborn and St. Louis
with 8 points, and the 8 points that this weekend
holds would be valuable as the season goes on. For
the Illini to stop the Flashes, the defense will
need to slow down the teams points leader Brett Kendig,
who has all three of the teams game winning goals
this season, as well as forwards Rob Ellis and Matt
Major who each have 2 goals and one assist. On the
other end of the ice the Flashes have been allowing
just over 3 points per game, and hopefully the hot
handed Illini forwards can take advantage of that
and put the Kent State skaters behind quickly. Both
games take place at 7:15pm Kent State campus ice
arena. |
