Roller: High Rollerz 4, Squirrels 3 (SO)
With just a few seconds remaining in the game, Greg Hainer skated the puck from behind an empty Squirrels net and launched the puck as hard as he could. The puck took a bounce off of someone, right to the stick of Charles Warner, who roofed the tying goal with no time remaining on the clock. Though the Squirrels lost in the ensuing shootout, a point was salvaged.Continue reading

Roller: Squirrels 8, High Rollers 6
The Screaming Squirrels locked up 2nd place with an 8-6 win against the High Rollers on Thursday in the regular season finale. It was no easy task, however, as a shorthanded High Rollers squad put up a fight.
The Squirrels got the scoring started as Charles Warner scored a minute in. High Rollers tied it before Warner fired a shot to the top left corner, atoning for two missed breakaways before that.
High Rollers scored two more goals to close out the period, and the Squirrels were facing a 3-2 deficit.
It appeared the Squirrels found their grove as two goals by Vivek Pinto and one by Casey Carpenter put them up 5-3, but two quick High Rollers goals tied it up again.
The Squirrels got a late power play and needed to score. After a High Rollers player took a puck to his eye and left the game, Carpenter netted another to give the Squirrels the lead. Pinto scored his third shortly after, and Carpenter got a short-handed goal to put the Squirrels up 8-5. High Rollers scored late but the Squirrels held on.
With four points int he final game, Vivek Pinto took over as the Squirrels’ scoring leader for the season. He and Carpenter led the team with 17 goals each. Amy Reich led the team in assists with 15.

Roller: Squirrels 10, Team Mylec 5; Squirrels 6, High Rollers 4
The Squirrels won both of their games Tuesday, running away with a 10-5 victory against Teams Mylec before holding on for a 6-4 win against the High Rollers.
In the first game, the Squirrels had both Casey Carpenter and Charles Warner play together for the first time. While the first period was tight, the Squirrels dominated the second half and ran away with the game.
The Squirrels didn’t have either Carpenter or Warner for the second game, and with tired legs they held a two-goal lead with four minutes remaining. The Squirrels, however, were on their heels, both tired and being outplayed at times down the stretch.
Then Warner shoed up, having just played most of an ice game on the other rink. He also came under the impression that the Squirrels were actually losing 5-3 and needed his help. While the second part was true, it came as a huge surprise to him as he said he only suited back up for a rally. At that point, the Squirrels were able to keep the puck away from the net long more easily, and scored an empty-netter for the 6-4 win.
