Saturday's action saw the Raiders drop a close, 6-5 de- cision to a visiting Brampton team. Brad Cripps opened the scoring early in the first for the locals by slapping homea loose puck. Captain Duke Bouskill and Curtis Carr had the helpers. Brampton an- swered back six minutes later with a goal from David Anthony who was sent in by Rob Rietter and Adrian Musci. The Raiders out shot Brampton in the first frame 12-9 and played one of their tightest checking periods thus far. An aggressive Georget- own defense also helped to keep it 1-1 at the end of one. The Raiders struck early again in the second period as Curtis Carr netted one for his second of three points on the night. Cripps had the assist on the marker and he was well on his way to a three point night as well. George Gray leveled the score for the visi- tors with a goal from Brent Mulder and Pat Cerveira, but a Bouskill goal in the dying minutes sent Georgetown into the third up 3-2. Play opened up in third period and the Raiders found themselves in penalty trou- ble. Dan Kerluke opened the scoring for Brampton at 4:34 with the only even strength goal of the period. Georget- own was unable to capitalize on a two man advantage but Kris-Barch dented the mesh short handed to put the hosts back into the lead. Two power play goals from Brampton's Rob Rieter and Adam Deleeuw had Georgetown be- hind the eight ball with four minutes remaining in regula- tion time. Jarad Gardner potted the equalizer on the p.p. from Cripps and the Raiders were right back in it. Brandon Dawe's power play goal proved to be the game win- ner for Brampton as George- town couldn't match it with only 65 seconds left on the clock. Raider stars were center- man Curtis Carr, defense man Marty Yeager who played well both offensively and defensively, andright winger Brad Cripps.
