Panthers Shutout UM-Dearborn

Matt Kaludis made 26 saves in 4-0 Win

Box Score GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - The Davenport men's Division I hockey team completed a weekend sweep of UM-Dearborn on Saturday with a 4-0 win at Patterson Ice Center. The win moves their record to 4-0 overall and 2-0 in the GLCHL.

Matt Kaludis stopped all 26 shots he faced for the shutout between the pipes. Neither team scored on the power play as the Wolves were 0-for-8 and the Panthers were 0-for-3. Davenport fired 31 shots on goal reaching double-digits in each period against Nate Kervis.

Chris Eckler put DU on the board first at 16:17 of the second period on a short-handed goal with assists from Kody Polin and Louie Abounader. Jordan Simmonds scored at 13:30 of the second from Aaron Beally and Eckler. Travis White scored at 11:32 of the second from Matt Ogden and Tyler Ploeg. The Panthers wrapped up the scoring at 9:55 of the third as Matt Lozicki found the back of the net from Beally and Everett Thompson.

"We have talked at length about our defense," commented head coach Phil Sweeney. "We have been very stingy so far this season in giving up goals. Our goaltending has been great and that is the key to good team defense. This weekend we played very good hockey, we used our team speed all around the ice in not only shutting them down but on our offensive attack."
