Andersson Scores Twice as Dodgers Fall

A three-goal second period helped the Mount Olive ice hockey team spoil yet another impressive performance from Madison forward Erik Andersson, as the Dodgers fell, 3-2, Monday night at Mennen Arena.

Andersson, who has a league leading 22 goals through nine games this season, got Madison out to a 1-0 lead with nine minutes remaining in the first period when he scored on an assist from Peter Andersson and Ryan Hoover.

But penalties in the second period doomed Madison, as Mt. Olive's Ryan Shakespeare scored back-to-back power-play goals within a two minute span, the second coming with just over nine minutes to play in the period.

Less than a minute later, Casey DeLorenzo scored unassisted to lead Mt. Olive to a 3-1 lead.

Andersson struck again in the third period, scoring off an assist from Peter Andersson with just over two minutes remaining to get Madison within one-goal.

The Dodgers weren't able to scramble for the tying goal and fell to 5-4 on the season.

Madison goalie Grant Perry stopped 16 shots in the loss, while Jordan Bustard stopped 25 for Mt. Olive (7-4).
