Wed. Feb. 24 Highlights
Milton Stays Alive
@ Milton Academy 3, Kimball Union 2 - In a key battle to stay alive in the hunt for a berth in the top tournament, Milton, on the strength of a third period goal by junior Tyler Edwards, came out on top.
This was a tight game from beginning to end. Milton went up 1-0 6:22 in the first period when KUA goaltender Martin Oullette left a fat rebound out front and Mustang junior George Pantazopolous tapped it home.
Gabriel Veilleux got it back, lifting a shot high glove side from about five feet past Milton goaltender Sean Dougherty at 11:11 to tie the game up at 1-1.
In the second period, at 5:56, KUA junior Peter LaFosse made a nice pass across the top of the crease to sophomore Dennis Kravchenko to give the Wildcats a 2-1 lead. However, with 1:12 left in the period, a Michael Megnia shot from the left point found its way past Oullette - Pantazopolous was credited with the goal, his second of the game - and the two teams entered the second intermission tied at 2-2.
In the third, Milton got the only goal they needed when Jonathan Mleczko fed Edwards, who, at the 8:31 mark, winged a wrister from the top of the left face off circle which beat Oullette top corner.
KUA had a chance to tie it up with about two minutes left, but Aaron Deutsch gloved a puck headed toward the open net out of the air, and Milton skated off with the big win.
On Saturday, Milton will host Nobles (2:00 pm) in a game that could mean everything for the Mustangs, and certainly something for Nobles as well.
"These are two even teams," said Milton coach Paul Cannata afterward. "We played them for six periods this season. We got five goals; they got four. We were lucky to get one more than them. I thought the first period was a kind of feeling-out period. In the second period both teams had more jump. It was good to see Tyler Edwards score that goal. Mleczko hit him with a nice pass. I thought we played well in the second and third periods."
KUA coach Ryan Miller, whose team will have to settle for a berth in the small-school tournament now, said, "I give all credit to Milton. They won a lot of 1-on-1 battles, a lot of races. They were hungrier. For some reason, we didn't have a lot of energy. We're a young program in terms of playing on this stage. We will take this as a lesson. It's been a great year, and we have a lot to be proud of. And there's a lot to be learned from a loss like tonight's."

Delbarton Upset
St. Augustine Prep 4, Delbarton 2 (Gordon Conference Semifinal) - Junior forward Roman Amiratto scored all four goals - the last an empty-netter -- to lead St. Augustine Prep to a 4-2 win and KO Delbarton's hopes for an undefeated season as well as a Gordon Conference championship.
Instead, St. Augustine, which had lost 6-1 to Delbarton back on Feb. 12, will play CBA in the Gordon Conference title game on Saturday night.
St. Augustine, coached by former University of Vermont forward Tim Fingerhut, also got big performances from sophomore John Stevens, the son of the ex-Flyers coach, who had four assists, and goaltender Joe Pantalone, who had 31 saves.
St. Augustine Prep, by the way, is the only school in New Jersey high school hockey history to finish with a perfect season, going 23-0 in winning the non-public championship in the 2006-07 season.
Delbarton, now 23-1 on the year, saw a 42-game unbeaten streak that extended back to last season come to an end.
Delbarton, which got early goals from Kenny Agostino and Tommy Davis to go up 2-0, will, as the #1 seed, advance to the state tournament, which begins next week. Delbarton has a bye in the first round.
