Despite the continued fine play and hot hand of John Conroy (3 goals in two games), the Burke varsity fell to Iona Prep 4-2.
Tim Carr and Mike Beck were sharp in net, stopping several short-handed opportunities by Prep, yet the Eagles undisciplined play late in the third period resulted in three shorthanded goals by Iona; final score Iona 4- Burke 2.
Although they eventually gave away the game late in the contest, this was a far different Burke team from Thursday night. Their willingness to compete made for an exciting contest and hopefully the foundation for the season.
