Devils Tie UNC in an Exhibition Game

CARY, NC -- Duke played its first of two scheduled exhibition games this season on Saturday morning against North Carolina. The game was informal as both teams didn't field their whole teams.

The teams played to a 2-2 tie, with Duke leaving the Cary Ice House quite pleased with the result. Great performances were given by the new players, with both Duke goals scored by freshman forwards. Freshman Joe Freimuth, Eric Shepsman,and Drew Evans all turned heads with great play at both ends of the ice. Senior Ted Rossenwasser played outstanding defense for the Devils as well.

Duke goalie Chris McHugh played a great game, stopping numerous UNC scoring chances in the first two periods. He also kept Carolina star player Tim Ewald off the scoreboard. He allowed just one goal in two periods of play before being relieved by Marc Roitman. The freshman netminder also played well, allowing only one goal and stopping five shots on a UNC power play in the third period.

Duke opened the scoring with a penalty shot goal by Joe Freimuth in the first period. A UNC player covered the puck in the crease to give Duke the penalty shot. The Devils made the score 2-0 in the second with a goal by Eric Shepsman. UNC got on the board with a goal late in the second period and then tied the game in the third.

All in all, the great play by the new players was certainly more important than the outcome of the game for the Devils.

GAME NOTES
Duke next hits the ice on September 27 against NC State at Raleigh's RecZone. The game will be Duke's first regular season contest but won't be a league game.
