- Penalties hurt MoJacks over the weekend MoJacks, Raiders even at two games each It's down to a best of three affair. Any thoughts Port Perry MoJack supporters might have entertained about a sweep in the Junior C quarter final se- ries against Napanee vanished into thin air over the weekend as the Raiders took a pair of wins to square the set at two games each. In a penalty-filled game Saturday night in Napanee, the Raiders scored three times on the power play en route to a 5-4 win over Port Perry. And Sunday night back in Port Perry, they seemed to be half a step ahead of the Mo- Jacks all game, and turned it into a 5-3 win. This was certainly a differ- ent Napanee squad than the one that showed up for the first two games of the series, both of which MoJacks won by scores of 7-4 and 12-2. In Sunday's match at the Scugog Arena, the Raiders seemed to set the tempo right from the opening face-off, checking the MoJacks at every turn while taking advantage of their scoring chances. Darren Lee gave MoJacks a short-lived 1-0 lead early in the first as he re-directed a shot on the power play. Len Giacalone and John Lally drew the as- sists. But the Raiders tied things up two minutes later on the power play with Randy Holmes finding a corner behind Tony Sortino. Raiders went ahead 3-1 by the mid-point of the second on goals by Aaron Uens and Holmes, before Kevin Gibson took advantage of two penalties to the Raiders to score off a wild scramble at 18:41. Shane Hoskin, easily the . most skilled member of the Raiders, upped the margin to 4- 2at 14:100n a two on one break. Dave Burnett made it in- teresting with 15 seconds left when he worked clear for a back-hand, but Hoskin drove the final nail into the MoJacks with an empty netter with two seconds to play.

And un-like Saturday's game, the teams decided to stick to hockey with just nine minors to ModJacks and ten to the visitors. In Saturday's game, the ModJacks found themselves trailing 4-1 in the third before they staged a rally to tie things up on goals by Kevin Gibson, Rob Willetts and Jim Vernon. Brad Menzies had clicked for the other MoJack marker early in the game.
