Well done, old Chap: Chappell dominates in win over Stingers

Chris Chappell had a hand in all five Warriors goals in their 5-2 win over Concordia
Box Score If the rest of the OUA men's hockey community didn't already know how talented Chris Chappell (Pickering/) was, they certainly know now.

Chappell's two goals and three assists capped off an eight-point weekend, and the Waterloo Warriors used four unanswered goals in the third period to top the Concordia Stingers 5-2 in Montreal on Saturday afternoon.

Justin Larson (Buckhorn/) added two goals and an assist for the 4-4-1 Warriors, who earned their first road win of 2013-14. Taylor Lambke and Kyle Armstrong scored for the Stingers, who fall to 2-6-0. Justin Leclerc (Saskatoon/) was solid when needed for Waterloo, making 33 saves for the victory. Antonio Mastropietro was under siege in the Stingers net for the bulk of the afternoon, turning aside 36 shots in a losing cause.

The start of the game was delayed by over an hour due to a malfunctioning Zamboni entrance door, and the layoff seemed to hinder the hosts more than the visiting Warriors – Waterloo came out of the gate on fire, piling up scoring chances and drawing the game's first three power play opportunities. However, Concordia counted the only goal of the frame, when Lambke jumped on a rebound and put the Stingers up 1-0 after the first.

The Warriors responded midway through the second when Larson notched his fourth of the season on the man advantage. Again the Warriors dominated possession, surrendering only three shots in the period. Mastropietro stood tall though, and the clubs finished 40 minutes of play tied at 1-1.

The Warriors looked like they might be headed for a disappointing loss when Armstrong took advantage of a turnover and put the Stingers up 2-1 just two minutes into the third. But that's when the Chappell-Larson-Brett Mackie (Whitby/) line took over the contest, and the Warriors rattled off four straight goals.

First, Stephen Silas (Georgetown/) flew in from the point and grabbed a rebound for his first career CIS goal to even the score at 2-2. Then, just past the seven-minute mark, Chappell scored the eventual game-winner, and Larson followed with some insurance just over four minutes later. Chappell then rounded out the scoring on the power play, giving him his 11th goal in just nine career CIS games.

The Warriors will now return home for a pair of weekend tilts against OUA East opponents, as they'll host the Laurentian Voyageurs in the annual Think Pink cancer awareness game on Friday night, before facing the Nipissing Lakers on Saturday evening.

Notes: The Warriors went 3-for-6 on the power play, while the Stingers went 0-for-7…The Warriors are now 3-1 against OUA East opponents this season…This was the fourth consecutive game in which the Warriors registered at least 40 shots on goal.
