First place red team falls hard in 4-1 loss.

It was a perfectly timed loss for the previously undefeated Shot in the Dark team, in which George Howard scored their only goal.

What was lost in the sandbag loss, was Mark Melito's two assists.

"I'm turning into a playmaker," said Melito.

"That's good, because you can't score anymore," replied Eric Grasso.

Well, Melito did score the first goal, before turning into a playmaker for the rest of the day. After Howard tied it for the red team later in the first, goalie Steve Lombardi shut the door the rest of the way for the navy team.

Grasso, Ryan Collins, and Dustin Silk scored the final 3 goals in the 4-1 win.

"We're a different team when Steve Hardy shows up," noted Rick Breed. "He brings such knowledge of the game to the ice each week, it's hard to lose with him"

The win moves Bark at the Moon to within one point of the 2nd place geen team. The loss, hands the first place red team their only loss of the season.

"We have a plan this season, and we are not deviating from that plan," said Brian Armand. "I haven't been told what that plan is, but that's besides the point."
