The Squirrels won a nail-biter Sunday, trading goals with the Wheaton Caps before prevailing, 5-4. Brent Machado got the scoring started in the first and Ben Sumner added another shortly after to give the Squirrels a 2-0 early lead. The Caps bounced back and tied it, only for Machado to score again with only 13 seconds left in the first period. The Caps scored the only goal in the second, then took a 4-3 lead early in the third. While killing a penalty, Neil Shah then tied the game while shorthanded. Jon Danziger then scored with a little more than five minutes remaining. There were plenty of penalties in the third, including some major cheap shots with less than a minute remaining. The Squirrels held on for the win.

The Squirrels got the new season off on the right foot Wednesday, holding off the Wheaton Capitals, 6-3 in the newly-renovated Resor Rink (which now has the penalty box and scorekeeper on the same side of the benches).

After a scoreless first, the Squirrels exploded for four goals in the second period, then a fifth early in the third. The Wheaton Capitals scored three straight, including one on the power play, but it wasn’t enough. Amy Reich added a buzzer-beating empty netter for her second goal of the game. Vivek Pinto also scored twice, as did Ben Sumner and Geoff Kozen in his first game as a Squirrel.
