Pat Garlock

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio - Through three quarters, Wittenberg senior Pat Garlock (Columbus, Ohio/St. Charles) had done everything but stand on his head in goal, and his team was hanging right with North Coast Athletic Conference rival Kenyon. Things came unraveled in the fourth quarter, however, as the visiting Lords scored five unanswered goals to take a 10-5 victory.

Garlock's 19 saves keyed a 5-5 stalemate through the end of the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, Kenyon's Luke Larson put the wraps on a fantastic day, scoring four of his game-high seven goals. The Lords scored four of their five fourth-quarter goals in a game-changing span of five minutes.

The disappointing finish overshadowed some strong individual performances for the Tigers, including 10 ground balls picked up by senior Brandon Schwind (Columbus, Ohio/Upper Arlington), a 14-of-19 performance on face-offs by senior Mark Morrell (St. Louis, Mo./CBC) and Garlock's 19 saves in net.

Offensively, the Tigers had three players contribute a goal and an assist, part of a balanced attack. Freshman Ted Winders (Western Springs, Ill./Lyons Township), freshman Jeff Capella (Columbus, Ohio/Worthington Kilbourne) and junior Brandon Hulett (Hilliard, Ohio/Davidson) each scored and assisted for two total points.

Kenyon outshot the Tigers 39-26, while the two teams split 68 ground balls right down the middle.
