Rockers Fall on Last Second Goal

The Motor City Rockers fell to the Indiana Sentinels 2-1 on Friday night.

Motor City got the scoring started when Cory Checco netted his first of the year on a shot from the left wing circle just over the mid way point into the first period.

The Rockers would carry the lead into the first intermission.

The lead would be short lived into the middle period.

Just 24 seconds into the middle frame, former Rocker Ross Bartlett found himself all alone in front of the net, leading to the game tying goal.

The rest of the second period would remain tied.

Going into the third, a slew of penalties made five-on-five hockey a rare occurrence.

After killing six penalties on the night, the game deciding goal came in the final minute, when a Ben Stefanini shot rebounded out in front, when Noah Hippolyte-Smith pushed the puck into an open net for the game-winning goal.

The loss marks the third straight for Motor City.

The two teams will tilt again Saturday night at 7:30. Coverage starts at 7pm on the Rockers Media Network.
