Report: Victim says Paterno tried to quash accusation

HERSHEY - The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins were happy with their play in the second and third periods of Friday&#8217;s Game 3 against the Hershey Bears.But it was the first period that was the problem.Looking to even up the series, the Bears came out firing and scored twice in the opening frame while the Penguins couldn&#8217;t get anything past Hershey netminder Justin Peters, falling 2-0. The series is now split 1-1 as it shifts back to Wilkes-Barre for the next two games, with Game 3 on Saturday.&#8220;We&#8217;re in one here,&#8221; said head coach Clark Donatelli. &#8220;I like the way we finished and we have to park this one and reload. It&#8217;s a short turnaround.&#8221;The Penguins started slow thanks to an aggressive Hershey attack that resulted in two first period goals for the Bears. Sean Collins scored on a two-on-one shorthanded rush, and Carter Camper connected with a bad angle shot just minutes later.The Hershey shorthanded goal proved to be the difference in the game.&#8220;That got them going,&#8221; Donatelli said. &#8220;It&#8217;s a big goal for them. They got a little bit of life after that.&#8221;The tally was particularly concerning because it was the third shorthanded goal the Penguins have given up in five games this postseason.&#8220;That&#8217;s something that even in the first round we gave up a couple,&#8221; said Dustin Jeffrey. &#8220;It&#8217;s something we need to address.&#8221;The Penguins stepped up the pressure a bit in the second period, and came close on a breakaway by Jeffrey but couldn&#8217;t chip away at the Hershey lead.&#8220;We were having trouble getting pucks in deep and getting the forecheck going,&#8221; Donatelli said.Casey DeSmith and the penalty kill prevented things from getting out of hand on several occasions. DeSmith stepped up when he stopped Madison Bowey at the corner, and then the Penguins penalty kill denied Hershey for 1:55 of a two-man advantage later in the period.Despite the big penalty kill, the Penguins were still behind 2-0 and for the first time in the postseason they trailed after two periods.But they didn&#8217;t give up.The Penguins offense started to click in the final frame and generated more pressure, especially in the waning minutes when DeSmith was pulled for the extra attacker. But despite outshooting the Bears 14-6 in the period the Penguins were unable to get anything in the net.The 2-0 loss marked the first time the Penguins were shut out in the postseason since June 3, 2014 when they lost 5-0 against St. John&#8217;s.Still, Donatelli was happy with the way his team played aside from the first period.&#8220;If we&#8217;re playing the right way usually we&#8217;ll get the results. For most of this game we played the right way,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Overall, the effort was there and it was an evenly matched game.&#8221;NOTES- D Ryan Parent left the game late in the second period with an injury and tried to come out for the third before calling it a night. Donatelli said Parent is day-to-day.- Dominik Simon was injured in Game 1 and did not play on Friday. D Niclas Andersen missed the game to be with his wife and newborn baby boy. Also scratched for the Penguins were G Sean Maguire, D Ethan Prow, F Patrick McGrath, F Tyler Biggs, D Reid McNeill (injury) and F Dominik Uher (injury). Donatelli said Andersen will return for Game 3 while the status of Simon, who didn&#8217;t travel with the team, is still up in the air.- The series shifts to Wilkes-Barre on Saturday for Game 3 at the Mohegan Sun Arena at 7:05 p.m.<div class="metaInfo"><subheadMeta>Slow first period sinks Penguins, evens series with Hershey at a game apiece</subheadMeta></div><div class="metaInfo"><bylineMeta>By Tom Veneskytvenesky@www.timesleader.com</bylineMeta></div><div class="metaInfo"><factboxMeta>Atlantic Division FinalsGame 2(Series tied, 1-1)Penguins 0, Hershey 2Penguins 0-0-0 &#8212; 0Hershey 2-0-0 &#8212; 2First PeriodScoring &#8211; 1.
