Defenseman Arne Krough was named the Defensive Player of the Tournament. BJ Stapleton was 2nd for most valuable defenseman.

The Yellow Jackets opened the Rumble in Richmond tourney against 2nd ranked Loyola University and edged out a 4-3 victory.

It was pretty much even throughout the game with 4 lead changes and 3 ties.

Loyola scored first in the 1st period with just 3 minutes left on a shot that rolled off the pads of goalie Craig Tabita and just crossed the goal line.

That 1-0 lead held up until Tech came back with 11 minutes left in period two on shot from Tom Porter (assist to Dan Sweeny).

The tied game didn’t last long as Tech scored another goal within the minute by Brian O’Connor with assist to Josh Krisinger and Andy DeChirico. That put the Jackets up 2-1.

But with 33 seconds left on a major five minute penalty kill, Loyola scored to tie the game at 2 after two periods.

Period Three saw Loyola open the scoring at the 4 minute mark with some sharp passing to take the 3-2 lead.

At the nine minute mark, Tom Porter scored in close with an assist to Mike Zaucha to tie the game again at 3-3.

Both teams played close, clean hockey the balance of the game, but Tech got the winning goal on a tip in from Captain Mike Zaucha on a shot from the point by Arne Krogh. The goal came with 1:11 left in the game.

Tech out shot Loyola 39-23. Craig Tabita made 20 saves in the game.
