Wheeling, WV (4/4/08) The visiting Chargers of Dominican College dropped a non-conference game to the Wheeling Jesuit University Cardinals, 9-8 this afternoon. Prior to the game, the Cardinals paid tribute to their fallen coach. Kevin Tyska passed away this January and the team honored him by having his children and wife step onto the field before the game. The crowd, staff, and players took a moment of silence before the game began.
The Cardinals played with a great passion scoring the first goal of the game. However, Dominican proved it would not go down easily answering right back. The two teams battled exchanging goals with one another. Dominican pulled ahead at half time by a score of 6-5.
Joe Sims, the Cardinal goalie, made 14 saves in the game. Dominican's Joe Assante (Hicksville, NY) recorded 15 saves.
They were led by Trevor Veres who had 3 goals and an assist. Jack Malone was not far behind with 2 goals and an assist for the day.
Dominican's Alex Jones (St. Albert, AB) was the dominant player for the Chargers, scoring 4 goals. Owen Smith III (Cornwall, NY) added two goals, while Jesse Peterson (Saskatchewan, Canada) had two assists.
With the loss the Chargers fall to 3-4 on the season.
Dominican is back in action on Sunday when they take on Seton
Hill University.
