Stars Split With Revolution

 

The Stars traveled to Philadelphia this past weekend looking to snap a three game losing streak. Saturday’s game wasn’t the answer to snapping the streak as the Revolution scored the first 5 goals of the game. Alex Tuch’s goal cut the Revolution lead to 5-1 but then Philly scored two more goals to increase their lead to 7-1. Jeremy Marginsky goal midway in the 2nd period made the score 7-2 going into the third period. The Stars started to make a comeback as they scored two goals, Marginsky and Trent Yule, in the first minute of the period. Two more goals from Luke Kirwan and Alex Brink were not enough as the Stars fell 9-6. The nine goals scored by the Revolution were the most goals that the Stars have given up in a game this season.

Sunday was the opportunity for the Stars to even the weekend series and get back to their winning ways. Garth Gray tallied the first goal of the game and gave the Stars their first lead of the weekend at 6:46. A pair of goals from Alex Tuch and Luke Kirwan’s first goal of the game gave the Stars a commanding 4-2 lead going into the first intermission. Kirwan’s other goal came in the 2nd period to give the Stars all the goals they needed as they defeated the Revolution 5-3 to end the losing streak. With the split over the weekend the Stars won the season series over the Revolution 3 games to one.

The Stars return home this weekend to take on the Maksymum Selects at the Cicero Twin Rinks.
