Freshman Ben Parker scored seven minutes into the second overtime as Canisius defeated Mercyhurst, 5-4, in the Atlantic Hockey quarterfinals. With the win, Canisius completes the sweep of the Lakers and advances to the Atlantic Hockey semifinals for the first time since 2004.
On the game-winning score, junior Cory Conacher chipped the puck to Parker on the blue line. Two Mercyhurst defenders then hit the ice attempting to block the shot but Parker went high and beat the Laker goalie glove-side for the game-winning score. Junior Vincent Scarsella also registered an assist on the series-clinching goal.
As first reported by Josina Anderson of Fox 31 in Denver, recently released linebacker Andra Davis is in Buffalo to visit the Bills today and according to her report is schedule to take a physical on Tuesday.
Many consider Davis’ release from Denver last week one of the league’s more surprising off season moves to this point. Davis was productive in Denver last year with 90 tackles and 3.5 sacks. His addition to Buffalo would solidify the inside linebacker position along with Paul Posluszny and Kawika Mitchell, though there’s a chance the addition of Davis could also mean the departure of the oft-injured Mitchell.
Davis was originally a fifth round draft choice by Cleveland in 2002. He spent last year with Denver after spending seven seasons with Cleveland.
Davis is the second defensive player the Bills have brought in over the last week. They failed to sign Jimmy Kennedy over the weekend when the defensive tackle decided to re-sign with Minnesota.
Former Buffalo Sabres defensemen Brian Campbell became the latest victim of Alex Ovechkin Sunday, suffering a broken collarbone that will force him to miss at least the rest of the regular season. Ovechkin was ejected from the game for the “push” into the boards.
The University at Buffalo softball team wrapped up the weekend against UNLV today, falling to the Rebels, 2-0, as the Bulls finish the weekend 1-5 and 7-12 overall.
Sophomore Kristin Waldron opened the game with a triple as she led off the Buffalo batting order. The triple was her third of the season and eighth of her career, which breaks the all-time record for triples in a career. The previous record was seven, set in 2004. Despite Waldron’s triple, the Bulls could not score in the inning. UNLV scored a run in the first and second innings and it was all they needed to secure the win. Buffalo tallied five hits in the game, compared to UNLV’s six hits, but couldn’t put up the score. Waldron and Alex Bejarano had two hits each while Taylor Franich added the fifth.
