Martello hooked up with Henenlotter for the second time, also in a
man-up situation. The Storm (3-10, 1-8 ECC) countered with a
goal to make the score 4-1, but the Mavericks responded with two
more goals as Wallin scored from a Joseph Pulido (Copiague, N.Y./Copiague)
assist, and John Thearle (Levittown,
N.Y./Island Trees) found the back of the net for an unassisted
goal. Lake Erie scored just before halftime and the Mavericks

Henenlotter collected his third goal of the game early in the
third as he finished off a pass from Marzocca. Lake Erie
stormed back to score the next two and make the score 7-4.
After that, Mercy pushed the lead to five on a pair of man-up
goals. Henenlotter scored his fourth goal of the game with
Wallin getting the assist, and Henenlotter helped on a score from
Marzocca. With under a minute left in the third, the
Mavericks made the score 10-4 as Wallin found the back of the net
off a feed from John Fitzpatrick (Yortktown,
N.Y./Lakeland).
