Offensive Outburst Leads EHL Revolution to First Win of Season

WARMINSTER, PA - The Philadelphia Revolution earned their first win in the Eastern Hockey League Saturday night at home against the Washington Junior Nationals seven to one.  

"For a young team," said Revolution Head Coach James Laux, "they played pretty maturely.  They worked very hard defensively and offensively.  We needed offense, and everyone was able to contribute to all seven goals scored."

Revolution forward Ken Tencza led the Revolution offensive outburst with a hat trick and two assists.  

"It feels good to score three goals," said Tencza, "even after I had trouble scoring in the first couple of games.  Now, I see them coming in bunches.  My goal moving forward is to stay consistent with my gameplay."    

Joining Tencza on the scoreboard were Riley Egan and Nick Patullo with two goals apiece.  Assisting on the seven goals were forwards Josh Williams, Remington Woods, and Zachary England; and defensemen Dennis Maier, Ryan O'Malley, and Nick Schaefer.

"I think we were a little more confident tonight," said Egan.  "Our offensive production really helped out in strengthening us as a team."

Jacob Caffrey earned the win in net, stopping 24 of 25 shots.

Junior Nationals forward Mike Piccirilli scored the lone goal for his team at 14:28 in the first period to tie the game at one.  Goaltender Timothy Cooney received the loss, despite stopping 51 of 58 shots.
