The Cape Elizabeth hockey team upset Scarborough in the semifinals of the first ever Fix Cup tournament early last week. But the Red Storm responded to that charity benefit loss with a 6-1 win during the two teams’ regular season game on Saturday.
The Capers played well in the first 15 minutes and they grabbed a 1-0 lead heading into the middle period. Colby Pearson scored a power play goal with less than three minutes to go in the opening period with an assist from Andrew Gibson.
The visitors held onto that advantage until the 4:50 mark of the second when Sean Sullivan scored for the Red Storm (assists to Travis Griffin and Nate Gadbois) and the game was tied at 1-1. Scarborough added two more scores before the period ended to take a 3-1 lead into the final period. Another goal by Sullivan (with Griffin and Gadbois assisting again) and a short-handed score from Steve Cook (from Brent Mayo and Nick Norton) had the Red Storm in control during the second intermission.
Scarborough’s defense then took over limiting the Capers to just four shot in the final 15 minutes of play and goalie Josh Larrabee turned aside all of those to frustrate the Cape offense. The Red Storm netminder finished the game with 15 saves.
The Red Storm added three more goals in that final frame for the winning margin of 6-1. Those scores came from Mike Dakers, Jason Quirk and another from Sullivan. Assists on those goals came from Jack Snyder (3), Mayo, Kyle Huber and Gadbois.
Cape goalie Lincoln Jordan stopped 21 of Scarborough’s 27 shots.
