BOX SCORE EDMONTON - Despite a late offensive push, rookie Calgary goaltender Colin Hasick held off the No.7 Alberta Golden Bears as the Calgary Dinos claimed a 2-1 road victory Sunday afternoon at Foote Field.

BOX SCORE

Third-year forward Izak Lawrence, the team's leading scorer last year with 12 points, got his first of the season while senior forward Jeremy Jenkyns potted his first, as well as the game-winner, for the visitors.

Notching his third point in two games, senior striker Milan Timotijevic scored the single for Alberta.

It was the road team that opened the scoring, however, with Lawrence heading a Christopher Wycliffe-Jones pass to the top right of the Golden Bears' net in the 7th minute of the first half.

Jenkyns had a chance to double the lead in the 26th minute, but his deflected shot just went wide of the near post, giving Alberta the chance to balance the scoreboard four minutes later when Timotijevic was left alone in the middle of the Calgary zone, aimed his shot, and buried it into the bottom left corner of the Dino net.

Yet in the 44th minute, Jenkyns found a lane towards the Golden Bears goal and struck short side to make good on his second chance of the game and put Calgary up by one going into halftime.

The Dinos took that momentum into the second half, stifling the Alberta attack and pushing their own but couldn't put away the insurance goal on third-year netminder Jay Vetsch, who replaced starting goalkeeper Matthew Preston at halftime.

Vetsch, an Edmonton native, made the best save of the game to keep the Dino lead at one in the 84th minute when Calgary's Jevan Bailey, a force for the visitors as soon as he stepped onto the pitch, had a point-blank shot that the 'keeper gamely faced head on.

The field then tipped towards the Dino end as Timotijevic and Marcus Johnstone, who scored a pair against Lethbridge on Saturday, fired shots on Hasick in injury time, but the freshman kept the Golden Bears at bay to preserve the win.

The now 1-1 Bears take a road trip next weekend to B.C. to visit the Victoria Vikes and Fraser Valley Cascades while the 1-1 Dinos begin a home-and-home series against Lethbridge in Calgary next Saturday.
