By

Mt. Airy received one goal by handicap and quickly added
to it with a pair of goals from Carlucho Arellano (one from the field and one
on a penalty conversion). Jan Pamela’s
Steve Dalton got them on the scoreboard with a goal from the field to end the
first chukker. Mt. Airy left the field
with an early 3-1 lead in the IPC March 12-Goal at the International Polo Club.
Scoring was hard to come by in the second. Tommy Collingwood converted a penalty shot
for a goal, but was countered by a penalty conversion from Arellano. After two periods of play, Mt. Airy continued
to lead by two goals, 4-2.
Jan Pamela seemed to get on track in the third period,
adding four goals to their total and shutting out the Mt. Airy team. Collingwood opened the scoring in the chukker
with a goal from the field followed by three more unanswered goals from Dalton
(one on a penalty shot). At the end of
the first half of play Jan Pamela held a 6-4 advantage over the Mt. Airy
quartet.
The two teams slugged it out in the fourth with each
coming up with three goals. Dalton added
his fifth goal of the game and teammate Mason Wroe scored from the field and
added a penalty conversion. Arellano
accounted for all three of Mt. Airy’s goals (two on penalty shots). Jan Pamela maintained the two goal lead, 9-7,
with two chukkers left to play.
Three more goals from Jan Pamela extended their lead as
Dalton added two more and Collingwood scored his third. A penalty goal from Arellano kept Mt. Airy
from being shut out, but the score stood at 12-8 with just one chukker left in
regulation time.
Angela York (substituting for Garrick Steele) opened the
sixth chukker with a goal for Mt. Airy, but a penalty conversion from
Collingwood negated the effort as time continued to run out on a struggling Mt.
Airy effort. Adrian Wade managed the
final goal of the game as time expired and Jan Pamela recorded the 13-10
victory.
Dalton’s seven goals (two on penalty shots) led the Jan
Pamela attack. Collingwood scored four
times and Wroe added a pair in the win. Arellano
registered seven goals for Mt. Airy (five on penalty shots). Wade and York added single goals in a losing
effort.
