The Nipissing Lakers men's hockey team picked a great time to snap out of their mini-slump.

The Lakers swept a home-and-home series with the Laurentian Voyageurs, defeating them 5-4 in overtime last night on the road and doubling them up, 4-2 tonight on home ice.

Friday night, the Lakers needed some heroics late after surrendering the lead, but Saturday, they led from start to finish, cruising to their 10th victory of the season.

Colin Campbell continued his strong play, picking up a goal and an assist, making it a three point weekend for the speedy forward.

Nipissing grabbed the lead with goals five minutes apart in the first period.

First, it was Joel Herbert scoring yet again, grabbing his third point of the weekend as well.

Craig Campbell, who also had a solid weekend, earned one assist and Jimmy McDowell picked up the other.

Alex Morgan scored his first of the season, unassisted, about five minutes later to give the Lakers a 2-0 lead at the first intermission.

In the second, the teams traded goals.

Laurentian cut the lead in half with a goal early on, but just over two minutes later, Campbell scored to regain the two-goal lead.

Erik Robichaud and McDowell earned the helps on the third Nipissing goal of the game.

At the midway point of the third period, thanks to a power play goal, the Voyageurs cut the lead once again, scoring their second of the game.

Now in a one goal game, the Lakers sealed it with a goal with four minutes left thanks to Guillaume Naud, who put home the fourth tally of the game.

Campbell drew the only assist in the goal that proved to be the dagger.

Kirk Rafuse was solid in net, making 35 saves for his second win in a row.

Nipissing will remain on home ice, hosting the Carleton Ravens and UQTR Patriotes next weekend at Memorial Gardens.
