GV MEN’S Dill CLUB HOCK­ EY WINS, TIES AGAINST PURDUE The Grand Valley State Division III men’s hockey club fin­ ished a two-game series against Purdue with a win and a tie. The Lakers trounced the Boilermakers 6-2 Friday, Oct. 14 and tied 3-3 Saturday, Oct. 15. In the first game, defense- man Derek Simon opened up the scoring for the Lakers with a long shot on a pass from Alex Bjork. Purdue answered back with two goals before the period’s end to put the Lakers down one heading into the second. Purdue ’s lead did not last long. Forward Tyler Stoller provided the equalizer for the Lakers, and freshman Bronson Foote scored on an assist from Mark Janiga to give GVSU the lead. GVSU kept the foot on the gas in the third period with a second goal from Stoller early in the period. Mitch Lawton and Foote provided some insurance for the Lakers with goals of their own. In the second game, GVSU jumped out to an early lead on the Boilermakers. Lawton capital ­ ized on a breakaway opportunity with a goal, and Alex Siroky scored before the intermission.

The first two GVSU touchdowns came courtesy of running back Martayve- us Carter on runs of 20 and 38 yards, respectively. in the second quarter, GVSU quarterback Bart Wil­ liams lofted a pass 30 yards down the right sideline into the bread basket of receiver Nick Dodson for a touchdown, rem­ iniscent of the pair ’s game-seal­ ing score against Ferris State. Dodson led all receivers with five catches for 120 yards and two touchdowns, includ­ ing a 59-yard screen pass to the house in the third quarter.

GVL I EMILY FRYE said. “On the screen play that I was able to break free on, the O-line did a great job of clear­ ing everyone out. I saw no one in front of me, so it really just starts with the guys up front helping me out.” The Lakers led 34-0 at halftime. Kicker Joel Schip- per went 2-for-2 on field goals in the first half, a 51-yarder in the first quarter and a 34-yarder in the sec­ ond. Dodsons 59-yard screen pass was the only score in the second half for the Lakers. The starters were pulled near the end of the third quarter.
