Axemen sweep 2 game series vs Brock with 3-1 win

WOLFVILLE, N.S. - Fourth year forward Mike Cazzola scored two goals in the Axemen's 3-1 win over the visiting Brock Badgers. Cazzola had two goals in last night's 4-3 win over Brock.

Sixteen seconds after the opening faceoff, Cazzola gave Acadia a 1-0 lead on the first shot on starting netminder Real Cormier. The one goal lead would change to two at 13:32 of the second period when Cazzola netted his second of the night coming on the Acadia powerplay.

With a 28-15 shots on net lead, the Axemen stretched the margin to 3-0 early in the final frame when second year winger Zachary Franko scored his first goal of the preseason.

Brock finally broke the goose-egg with just under 12 minutes remaining in the game when defenseman Dan Trodel scored on the man-advantage.

Out-shot 39-21, Badger Real Cormier posted a well-respected loss with 36 saves, while Robert Steeves was tested with 20 shots in his first start of the preseason.

The Badgers will head to Moncton to take on the Aigles Bleus on Sunday, while the Axemen will prepare for a road trip to the U.S.A. this coming weekend to take on Boston College and Vermont University on Saturday and Sunday respectively before their season opener against StFX on Saturday, October 10.
