 High School Ice Hockey:Lawson scores Late as Eastern upsets Moorestown Friday, January 19, 2007 By Mike Costantino Torin Lawson scored with two seconds left in the game as Eastern upset Moorestown 5-4 in Tier 1 action played at Hollydell. The win was only the third for the Vikings, who have struggled the last few years after having been one of the top teams since the late 1990's. Tonight was a glimpse of the past as great goaltending and hustle, a trait of Vikings team past, was the key to their upset over Moorestown. Eastern goalie Evan Cohen, despite goals against over six, played outstanding and was the main reason his team was in position to steal the game. After a scoreless first period, Cameron Dougherty put the Vikings up 1-0, Moorestown would score two goals in a span of eight seconds, both in a four-on-four situation, to take a 2-1 lead as Alec Miller and Ben Doganiero got the goals. |

After Osterdahl's second goal early in the second period Williamstown led 4-0, and seemingly in control. Clearview had two golden opportunities to climb back into the contest with consecutive two-man advantages, but could not capitalize on either chance, as their power play went powerless. |

Having been a successful organization over the years the Vikings have struggled these last few years and instead of battling for the top spot, they find themselves near the bottom of the standings, and probably in Tier 2 next season. Thanks to the mercy rule, where a team with a 10 goal lead will be declared the winner, the game was stopped early in the third period when Ryan Thompson scored the eleventh goal. Torin Lawson scored the lone Viking goal. Kevin McMahon also scored twice for Cherokee. |
