Sergerie's third-period winner secures sweep over McGill

Adam Sergerie completed a furious late-game comeback Saturday night, scoring the late third-period winner to give Lakehead a weekend sweep over defending national champion McGill.

But it was Mike Hammond who made it all possible.

Trailing 4-2 midway through the third, the sophomore Wolves forward broke partially free on McGill’s Andrew Flemming, pulling Lakehead to within a goal.

Minutes later he was hauled down on a shorthanded breakaway and slid the ensuing penalty shot through Flemming’s pads, knotting the contest 4-4.

It was all McGill in the early going at Fort William Gardens, as the Redmen opened a 2-0 lead on LU’s Jeff Bosch. Jonathan Brunelle scored on a power play at 15:39 of the first to kick-start the McGill offensive attack. Thirty seconds into the middle frame they had their second when blue-line Nicolas Cucuzza-Biniek pinballed a shot behind Bosch.

Matt Caria cut the lead in half, but Ryan McKiernan re-established McGill’s two-goal cushion before the period wound down.

Showing no quit, Sergerie got one back, taking a pass from Hammond and burying it behind Flemming.

Patrick Delisle-Houde scored a power-play goal in the third for McGill to make it 4-2 at the time.

The Thunderwolves resume OUA play at home next weekend against the Guelph Gryphons.
