SAT. FEB. 18. 2012 --
Despite a tough season, the Presidents were a roster of players who
never quit. They proved it again tonight at the Ice Zone in
Boardman, OH versus the hosting Youngstown State University
Penguins. The Presidents' senior class stepped up and won an epic
game by the score of 4-3 in overtime. A back and forth game with a
playoff-type atmosphere, full of fast-paced hockey and lead changes,
was surely a win that the graduating seniors will never forget.
Senior forward
Mike Heltman (11,12) played
heroics as he scored twice including the game winning goal in
overtime that sent the Presidents into a frenzy. Senior Captain
Mike Penkrot (5) capped his career
with his 55th career goal (good for 10th all-time on the Presidents'
goal scoring list) while sophomore
Bill Austin (12) scored as
well.
The Presidents thought
they had the game won but Youngstown State scored with just under
two minutes remaining in regulation which sent the game to overtime
and set up Heltman's heroics.
Senior goaltender
Dustin Tanner picked up the
win between the pipes for the Presidents in his final collegiate
game.
