It didn’t take long to see that this was going to be a winning game. Two and a half minutes into the first period, the Trojans scored first with a goal by Joe Sambucci (assisted by Bryan Dirst). One minute later, David Ulanski (assisted by
Danny Dirst and Mike Cronin) increased the Trojan lead to 2-0. One more goal, scored by Joe Sambucci (assisted by Bryan Roy) put the team up 3-0 at the end of the first period.
With both teams held scoreless in the second period, Kyle Millinowisch (assisted by Danny Desmond) started off the third period by scoring right from the
face-off. South Elgin scored once to take the shut-out away from goalie Joe Stolfo. Two more Trojan goals, one from Bryan Dirst (unassisted) and one from
Bryan Roy (assisted by David Ulanski and Danny Desmond), finished the game
giving the team their first win. Final score was 6-1.
