WOLFVILLE, N.S. - Fourth year forward Mike Cazzola scored two goals in the Axemen's 3-1 win over the visiting Brock Badgers. Cazzola had two goals in last night's 4-3 win over Brock.

Sixteen seconds after the opening faceoff, Cazzola gave Acadia a 1-0 lead on the first shot on starting netminder Real Cormier. The one goal lead would change to two at 13:32 of the second period when Cazzola netted his second of the night coming on the Acadia powerplay.

With a 28-15 shots on net lead, the Axemen stretched the margin to 3-0 early in the final frame when second year winger Zachary Franko scored his first goal of the preseason.

Brock finally broke the goose-egg with just under 12 minutes remaining in the game when defenseman Dan Trodel scored on the man-advantage.

Out-shot 39-21, Badger Real Cormier posted a well-respected loss with 36 saves, while Robert Steeves was tested with 20 shots in his first start of the preseason.
