March 5, 2005 Hawks pull out tie with Wolves, 4-4. Sunday night The Seattle University Redhawks continued their recent unbeaten streak by pulling out a tie with the Seattle Wolves who currently have the best record in the CHL at 14-2-1. The First period started out slow and neither team could gain the edge until 7 minutes left in the first when the Wolves would score on their first power play opportunity of the game. Minutes later the Wolves would go up by two as nice passing paid off for them in the Hawks zone. With only a minue left in the first the Hawks responded as Sophomore Jeff Lynch (Woodinville, WA) would hit Sophomore Brandon Holthaus (Lake City, WA) with a pass and Holthaus would take two steps into the Wolves zone and would let a laser beam go that would beat Wolves goalie Tim Comyn low blocker side to make it 2-1. The Wolves would answer early in the second as they would go up 3-1, and thats how the second would end. The third period saw quite an offensive explosion from the Hawks as Junior Tim Lang (Olympia, WA) would find Holthaus wide open in slot and he would finish off Lang's great pass to bring the Hawks within one. Minutes later the Hawks would get the equalizer as Senior Jamie Booth (Winnipeg, MB) and Tim Lang would set up Sophomore Matt Schwarz (San Diego, CA) who would make a great deflection on Booth's shot for his first goal of the season. As the have all season the Wolves would respond to giving up a goal and would go ahead 4-3 just minutes after Schwarz's equalizer, the Hawks however would not let this stand as it was Holthaus picking up his 3rd goal of the game on another set up by Tim Lang as Lang would pick up his third assist of the game as well, Holthaus would beat Comyn five hole to tie the game. Hawks goalie Read Constant was steller once again, making incredible saves the whole night including stopping a fury of shots with only 30 seconds remaining in regulation. Constant made 36 saves on the night. The Hawks next game is next sunday March 13 at 10:45am against the Lynwood Top Shelf at the Everett Events Center.   February 12, 2005 Redhawks take down Flyers 7-6. Sunday night the Seattle University Redhawks got back on the winning track sunday night but not in the most conventional way. They were awarded the win with two minutes left in regulation as a line brawl occured between the two teams as the Everett Flyers were unable to finish the game due to a lack of players and thier goalie who was also ejected. The game at hand was a very high passed and a lot of scoring. The Redhawks did something that they haven't done in a while, score first. Early on the Hawks found themselves on the powerplay and as the Hawks usually do they took advantage of it. Junior Ben Markwart (Floyd, NY) chaised down a puck deep in the Flyers zone and sniped a pass to a wide open Brandon Holthaus (Lake City, WA) who buried it five hole on Flyers goalie Phil Van Valkenburg to put the Hawks up 1-0. The Flyers would strike back quickly and eventually go up 5-1 on the Hawks as there defense would breakdown and the Hawks seemed surely out of it. The Hawks remained scoreless throughout the second period but the third period was a much different story. Once again it was powerplay unit that got the job done for the Hawks as Ben Markwart would draw the faceoff back to Senior Ben Tews (Worcester, NY) as he would zip a pass across to a wide open Jamie Booth (Winnipeg, MB) as booth would snipe Van Valkenburg high blocker side to bring the Hawks within 3 with eleven mintues remaining in the game. Minutes later Sophomore Pete Burns (Seattle, WA) hit Holthaus with a pass as Holthaus would dangle around a Flyers defensemen and beat Van Valkenburg five hole once again to bring the score to 5-3. The Flyers would answer quickly and thought they would stop the Hawks from soaring to go up 7-3. But the Hawks were not done as Holthaus would pick up his fourth hat trick of the season as he would let a rocket go from the top of the right circle to beat Van Valkenburg high glove side and make it 7-4. Minutes later Junior Tim Lang (Olympia, WA) would notch his first goal of the season as he would get a pass from Ben Tews and Lang would beat Van Valkenburg low blocker side to make it 7-5. Rob Ballinger would pick up the Hawks final goal as he would rush the puck end to end and deke to the left side and bring the score to 7-6. But as mentioned above because of the way the game ended the win was actually awarded to the Hawks. Goalie Read Constant made 25 saves on the night and improved his record to 9-6-2. The Hawks are on the Road this weekend  the 18th and 19th as they travel to Tacoma to take on the University of Puget Sound Friday and Saturday.

Minutes later Senior Jamie Booth (Winnipeg, MB) would get a pass from Adam Read and walk in alone and beat Lawrence five hole to tie the game at 2. It seemed that the Hawks had things going there way until Top Shelf answered early in the second period with two more quick goals to go up 4-2, and would put two more in before the end of the second to lead 6-2. The Hawks would fight back though, Sophomore Brandon Holthaus ( Lake City, WA), the Hawks leading goal scorer returned to action after coming off a 5 game suspension for his fight during the Lynwood Isotopes game on December 5th, would get things going in the third period as he would get a bullet pass from Sophomore Gabe Cullen (Ballard, WA) and rush the rest of the way and finish by putting on an excellent deke to beat Lawrence low blocker side to bring the score to 6-3. Midway through the third period a faceoff in the Top Shelf zone would turn golden as Ben Markwart would draw the puck back to Holthaus, he would let a rocket go from the point and Markwart was their to deflect it to beat Lawrence five hole to make it 6-4. 41 second later Ross Taylor (Portland, OR) would block a shot from the point, the puck would deflect out of the zone and Tim Lang was their to pick it up, he would give it up to Ben Markwart as Markwart would take it in all alone and beat Lawrence low glove side for his second goal of the night and bring the score to 6-5.
