Tozzo’s Six Point Night & Resendes’ Hat Trick Power Aces Over Bears in 9-1 Rout

Brooklyn Aces assistant captain C.J. Tozzo has made a habit of making sure his name is on the scoresheet this season. Last night against the Hudson Valley Bears, the hard-working star netted six points, leading his team to a 9-1 win.

After scoring only three goals in their last two games against the Danbury Mad Hatters and New Jersey Rockhoppers earlier in the weekend, the Aces scored three goals in the first period, on goals by Mike Thomson and a pair by speedster Tony Resendes, giving them an early 3-0 lead. Hudson Valley did keep themselves in the game for the first 20 minutes though, getting a goal from Scott Burns with one second left that made it a 3-1 game going into the second period.

The Aces regained their three-goal lead in the second on a Mike Christensen goal at 2:02. Quickly thereafter the Aces turned the table on the Bears, getting goals from Rob Miller, Andrew Scampoli and B.J. Kuper, taking a 7-1 lead into the final period. Things could have gotten even worse for Hudson Valley as well, but Ian McLoughlin was unable to convert on a penalty shot at 10:02.

Resendes added his third tally of the night in the third at 6:42 and Tozzo scored the final goal of the game at 14:42, putting the Aces up by eight and inducing a 9-1 win.

With the win and a win by New Jersey, the Aces maintain their ten-point lead atop the EPHL.

Notes-

Aces goaltender Miro Recicar made 31 saves.

Thomson had five points.

Eric Frank, Doug Hoffman and Joe Pelle were not in the lineup for Brooklyn.

Jesse Felten was the only member of the Aces without a point on the night. He did however have three shots on goal and five minutes in penalties.

Attendance for the game was 178.
