WES WALDSCHMIDT LEADS TIGERS
OVER SHALER, 4-2

To listen to a replay of the game, click here!

Senior forward Wes Waldschmidt scored two goals and added two assists to lead the Tigers to a 4-2 victory over Shaler at Bladerunners in Warrendale on Tuesday night.  Senior Matt Lancaster and sophomore Brady Waldschmidt also scored for the winning Tigers with junior defenseman Tyson Stupy recording two assists.  NA scored all four goals on power plays in a penalty filled contest.

The Tigers dominated the first period but came away with just one goal.  Wes Waldschmidt had a good chance at the 3:03 mark, but Shaler goalie Brent Babarich made a good save.  Just 26 seconds later, Lancaster hit the post and junior forward Josh Herbert shot just wide as NA continued to pressure the Shaler goal.  On two consecutive power plays, the Tigers came close but Babarich was there to make the saves.  The best chances came from Wes Waldschmidt and sophomore forward Dylan Rohar, but the game remained scoreless.  Wes Waldschmidt finally made the Titans pay when he skated in from the blue line and cleanly beat Babarich on yet another power play to give the Tigers a 1-0 lead with 5:21 remaining in the period.  Neither team scored in the remaining time as NA took a 1-0 lead to the first intermission.

In the second period, Shaler continued to spend time in the penalty box with early penalties.  The Tigers almost scored early in the period, but Shaler's Justin Cavlovich cleared the puck just before it slid into the net.  Brady Waldschmidt was able to get a stick on the puck in a scramble in front on the net to give the Tigers a 2-0 lead on a power play goal with 10:05 left in the period.  After Herbert was stopped on a breakaway attempt by Babarich, Shaler rallied to tie the game, however, with a pair of goals in a span of 46 seconds.  Junior goalie Max Richards made several good saves as the Titans went on a power play, but Grant Duss was able to score from in front of the goal at the 8:45 mark.  Seconds later, Drew Martz came out from behind the NA goal to tuck in the tying goal with 7:59 left in the period.  The Tigers answered to retake the lead on another power play.  Lancaster was able to get a stick on Wes Waldschmidt's shot from the left circle to give NA a 3-2 lead with 6:16 remaining.   Lancaster had another good chance at the 3:40 mark, but could not score.  Richards kept the Tigers on top with a big save on Brian Ulanowicz with just 1:02 remaining in the stanza.  The period ended without further scoring as the Tigers lead, 3-2, going into the final period.

The teams exchanged penalties throughout the first half of the period.  The Tigers had two good chances as Babarich stopped Herbert at the 10:02 mark, and Duss came back to deny Lancaster on another breakaway attempt.  NA continued to hold the one-goal lead until Duss was sent off for tripping with 4:29 remaining.  Wes Waldschmidt scored the insurance goal from the left wing circle to give the Tigers a 4-2 advantage with 3:55 left in the game.  A skirmish broke out with just 48 seconds left.  A number of penalties and one ejection marred the end of the contest.  The Tigers were able to keep the puck in the Shaler end for the remaining time and came away with a 4-2 victory.

It was a hard fought win for the Tigers against a neighborhood rival.  Richards was tough in the net when he had to be particularly with NA a man short.  For his efforts, the North Allegheny Sports Network named Wes Waldschmidt as the Player of the Game.

With the win, the Tigers improved their PIHL record to 3-1 and moved into a first place tie with Fox Chapel in the North Division.  The Tigers and Shaler will meet again on Monday night at Bladerunners in Harmarville with game time scheduled for 7:30 pm.
