Mocs start road trip with 6-3 win

Lukas Smital had a hat trick and an assist Friday to lead the Monroe Moccasins to a penalty-filled 6-3 road comeback victory over New Mexico.

Trailing 3-1 in the second period, the Moccasins (26-14-1) scored five straight goals to get their four game western road swing off to a good start.

A crowd of 6,966 saw many players head to the penalty box as the teams combined for 32 penalties, resulting in 96 penalty minutes.

The win snapped a two game losing streak for Monroe, which remains three points behind Eastern Division leader Shreveport in the WPHL standings.

"We're just happy to get back on track," Mocs coach Brian Curran said. "...We definitely owned them in the second and third periods."

Monroe's Dorian Anneck and Russ Parent had two assists each, while teammates Darren Dougan and Sean Freeman picked up a goal and assist each.
