McGrory Sparks Bonner in 8-2 Win

Mark McGrory scored two goals and Bryan McLauglin made 22 saves in net, leading Bonner to an 8-2 victory over Archbishop Carroll on Monday night. In the first period, Carroll's John Ahern scored off a Mike McGuire assist to give the Patriots an early 1-0 lead. Three minutes later, junior Terry Jacobs took a wrist shot from the point that found its way past Carroll goalie Sal DeGrazio to tie the game at one. Early in the second period, Carroll took a 2-1 lead on a goal by Chris McCabe. That lead would not last long. Senior captain Rob Cantando tied the game at two less than a minute later off assists by Dave Brewer and Dan Schwartzman. This goal seemed to spark the Friars. Two minutes after, Schwartzman put the puck in the back of the net, this time off assists by Brewer and Cantando. Corey Cahill lit the lamp with six minutes left in the period on the power play to give Bonner a 4-2 lead. Late in the second, Dan Stone's shot was blocked by DeGrazio, but McGrory put the loose puck past the line for his first goal of the night. After two periods, Bonner held a 5-2 lead. The third period was all Bonner. Schwartzman scored his second goal of the night off an assist by Nick Martin with six minutes left. Thirty seconds later, McGrory stole the puck in the slot and took a wrist shot to for his second goal. Brewer ended the scoring with a minute left, giving Bonner their eighth goal on the evening off an assist from brother Kevin Brewer. The Friars dominated every aspect of the game, and defeated the Patriots 8-2. McLaughlin played well for the Friars and did not allow Carroll to get back in the game.
