Final road trip could decide first place for Clan

Simon Fraser University eked out a 5-4 win over the University of Victoria in B.C. Intercollegiate hockey last week

A four-point first period helped the Simon Fraser University men’s hockey club eke out a 5-4 win over the University of Victoria in B.C. Intercollegiate league play.

League scoring leader Nick Sandor tallied the game-winning goal late in the second period after assisting on three of SFU’s first-period markers at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre on Saturday.

Jared Eng opened the scoring on a power play, but Victoria’s Chris Manhas quickly tied it up.

Jono Ceci, co-leader in B.C. Intercollegiate scoring with Sandor, both with 44 points, got the lead back with his 12th power-play tally of the season.

Kale Wild and Jesse Mysiorek also added goals less than 15 seconds apart late in the frame.

Andrew Parent registered 24 saves to chalk up his 11th win of the season.

The victory kept the Clan just two points ahead of defending playoff champion Selkirk College in league standings.

The Clan are on the road for two games this weekend, including an all-important meeting with Selkirk in Castlegar on Saturday.

SFU finishes up its season schedule the following week in Victoria on Feb. 28.
