Sixteen seconds were all Penn State needed.

In that short span, the American Collegiate Hockey Association's No. 1 Icers (14-3-1) put two goals past No. 4 Illinois (14-7-1), sealing the second of two wins over the weekend at the ice pavilion. Saturday's 10-6 win was the Icers' third in a row, coming after Friday's 5-1 victory.

At the 19-minute, 43-second mark of the second period on Saturday, junior defenseman P.J. Amodeo knocked his second goal of the game past Illinois goaltender Terry Kasdan to tie the contest.

In the ensuing celebration, Illinois forward Tom Radja leveled Icer forward Chad Markowitz, drawing a roughing penalty. A few ticks off the clock later, Icer forward Dave Raymer scored the game-winning power-play goal with only one second left in the period.

At the end of that shift, the Fighting Illini seemed sluggish -- the line may have been on the ice for too long. Illinois Coach Bob Turngren took the blame.

"I probably made a coaching error at the end of the second when I left my power play unit on," he said. "I probably should have put some fresh legs out there."

The Icers scored three more goals in the third period to close out the game. Amodeo, Raymer and sophomore forward Andrew Barnes each scored two goals in the contest.

Barnes continued to break out of his season-long goal-scoring slump. After two goals against Scranton Tuesday, he maintained the hot hand. He said his teammates were getting on his case about his drought.

"It's been an ongoing thing this year. The team's been giving me a hard time because I hadn't scored a goal yet," Barnes said. "I finally got that off my back. They're talking about the snowball effect."

Throughout the game, the Icers had to fight back. They battled back from 3-1 and 4-3 deficits early in the game. Turngren said the Icers may have been too confident for the second game after the win Friday night.

"They've got to watch themselves," he said. "If they let their guard down, things happen."

Sophomore forward Rich Martha, who recorded a goal and two assists over the weekend, said that's exactly what the Icers did during the first game.

"(Illinois) came out flying on the first shift and that was it -- that's all they did," the Pittsburgh native said. "After their first shift, they died. We got up by three goals and we started mellowing out a little bit and we started playing down to their level."

Icer goaltender Derek Lecours had an outstanding weekend, making tough saves during Illini power plays. He started the first game, keeping a shutout until 16:33 of the third period, when Illinois forward Rob Malstrom scored.

Lecours also appeared in relief for junior Jeff Crispino, who started Saturday's game. Icer Coach Joe Battista said Crispino's ankle may have been bothering him again and another evaluation of it may be necessary.

Lecours said he was not disappointed in letting one shot get by him on Friday.

"Hell, if we win every game at Nationals 5-1, everybody's happy," he said. "I got the big saves when we needed to."

The Icers took several unnecessary penalties, which gave the Illini a chance to get back in the games. The Icers held them to no power play goals on Friday, but gave up three on Saturday. After Friday's game, Battista said he was happy with the team's play.

"Either our penalty killing was superb," he said, "or they have to do a lot of work on their power play."
