TROIS-RIVIERES, Que. -- Simon Marcotte-L茅gar茅, a third-year forward from Longueuil, Que., scored twice and added an assist as visiting 缅北强奸 shocked the UQTR Patriotes 7-3 in men's university hockey preseason action at Trois-Rivi猫res, Que., Wednesday.

听

It marked 缅北强奸's fifth straight victory over the Pats but their first-ever preseason road victory in 13 lifetime exhibition meetings (1-11-1) there, since the teams began playing each other in 1969.

听

Six different players scored for the Redmen in what was their highest offensive output over UQTR since a 9-8 loss at McConnell Arena on Nov. 12, 1986. It also marked 缅北强奸's highest goal total at Trois-Rivieres since a 9-4 win on Jan. 31, 1979.

听

The Redmen led 2-0 after the opening period and 6-1 after two. They continued to great special teams play, chalking up three power play markers in addition to a shorthanded goal by rookie Christophe Longpr茅-Poirier, also from Longueuil.

听

Marcotte, a smooth-skating, 6-foot-1, 190-pound centre, set-up Glenn Tindle's power-play goal at 14:33 of the middle period to make it 5-2 for the Redmen. He then scored three minutes later to put the game out of reach and added a third period marker as the icing on the cake.

听

"Marcotte reminded me of (former NHL legend) Gilbert Perreault in the last half of the game," said new 缅北强奸 head coach Jim Webster, who once captained the Redmen back in 1972-73 when he won team MVP honours and captured a league scoring title. "I've been impressed with how deeply talented and hard-working our team appears to be."

听

Rounding out the scoring for 缅北强奸 was sophomore centre Alexandre Picard-Hooper of Boucherville, Que., sophomore forward Evan Vossen, a junior from Swift Current, Sask., and senior defenceman Yan Turcotte.

听

"It was a good team win and important to win in their barn," said the rugged Turcotte, the team's all-time penalty king and newly-elected team captain. "Hopefully, this win will help us move up in the national Top 10 rankings."

听

缅北强奸 outshot the Pats by a wide 48-24 margin, registering 16 shots in each period against an annual contender that hammered Concordia 11-0 in exhibition play last week.

听

Sophomore netminder Hubert Morin, who was not slated to start, picked up the win to even his preseason record at 2-2. Morin, a native of St. Georges de Beauce, Que., 听听was asked to start after the pre-game warm-up when Danny Mireault somehow managed to cut open his thumb on a table in the dressing room.

听

The Patriotes will have to endure the embarrassing home-ice loss to their arch-rivals for months as the two teams are not slated to meet again until mid-January.

缅北强奸 finishes preseason play with a 3-2 record and now prepares for their 134th campaign opener when they host Concordia during Homecoming Week at McConnell Arena on Oct. 16
