* Large & Small School Semifinals *
Large School Semifinal: Choate 7, Tabor 5
Alex Hagen had three goals -- the last an empty netter -- and Dan Schuler had two to lead Choate to a 7-5 come-from-behind victory over Tabor today.
Tabor will face Berkshire tomorrow at 1:00 pm.
Choate went up 1-0 when Dan Linell tapped one home from the corner of the crease, the puck breaking off Tabor goaltender Robbie Kang at the 10:44 mark. Assists went to Alex Hagen and Greg Kreisinger.
Tabor evened it up at 1-1 when, from a scrum in front of Choate goaltender Dan Rivellini, Gabriel Renaud knocked one home with 2:16 left.
Tabor took a 2-1 lead when, with 21 seconds left in the period, Tim Coffey, stationed back door, finished off a nice passing sequence with Kevin Salvucci and Cam Spiro.
In the second, Tabor went up 3-1 when Tim Shea scored at 2:05, with an assist from Ian Coleman. After the goal, Dan Rivellini was replaced with Nick BonDurant.
Tabor's Coleman took a holding penalty, and Choate cashed in as Hagen poked in a rebound from a scrum in front at 8:34 to cut the lead to 3-2.
Just 39 seconds later, Tabor went up 4-2 when Coffey found Spiro alone in the slot. Spiro buried it top shelf.
Choate, 1:01 later, again cut the lead to one when when Dan Schuler put in a Kyle Criscuolo rebound.
Choate entered the third trailing 4-3, and quickly reeled off three unanswered goals in the first five minutes, the first by Will Laverack from Kreisinger. Next, Schuler created, off a Tabor turnover, a give-and-go with Criscuolo to give Choate a lead they wouldn't relinquish. Finally, Hagen gave Choate a two-goal lead -- the eventual game-winner -- with the assist going to Linell to make it 6-4.
Tabor came back with a goal by Coffey, his second of the day, off a nice play by Spiro, who worked the puck along the end boards and got it out front to cut Choate's lead to 6-5.
Tabor never really mounted any sustained pressure after that, and Hagen added an empty-netter in the final minute to seal the deal for the Wild Boars.
Large School Semifinal: Berkshire 3, Cushing 2
A Jake Goldberg goal with nine seconds remaining lifted the Berkshire School to a 3-2 win over Cushing Academy here today.
On the game-winner, Kevin Sullivan's pass from the right faceoff circle found Goldberg in front, and the Brown recruit cashed in.
Berkshire will play the winner of the upcoming Choate/Tabor game tomorrow at 1:00 pm.
After an uneventful first period, play picked up in the second, though the game was over halfway through before anyone got on the scoreboard. It was Berkshire that broke through, when Goldberg juked a d-man at the inside edge of the left faceoff circle and found Kyle Lockwood breaking to the net. Lockwood tapped it past Cushing goalie Chad Hardy at the 10:46 mark.
Cushing tied it a little over a minute later when Mike Conderman was sprung with a nice stretch pass from defenseman Corey Scammon, broke in alone and beat Berkshire goalie Mitch Gillam at 11:55.
Berkshire took the lead back at the 15:07 mark when Sullivan converted a nice pass from Goldberg.
Then, Cushing tied it up with 1:03 left in the period, with Conor Sheary scoring his second goal of the period, with RJ Boyd assisting.
The third period started out tentatively, but play picked up midway through. Each team had two or three good scoring opportunities, but couldn't convert until, with time running out, Berkshire notched the game winner.
Small School Semifinal: Dexter 4, Hebron 0
Dexter, behind a Cam Darcy hat trick and shutout goaltending from junior Kevin Green, skated to a textbook 5-0 win over Hebron Academy here today. Dexter skated well, moved the puck well, killed penalties efficiently, controlled the play throughout, and gave Hebron no opportunities to get into the game.
Tomorrow, they face Kimball Union in the small school title game (10:30 am).
In the first, Dexter went up 2-0 on a pair of Cam Darcy goals, both assisted by Brendan Fitzgerald and John Magliozzi.
There was a little controversy late in the period when it looked like Dexter had gone up, 3-0, but the referee waived it off, ruling the net was off the mooring.
In the second, Dexter added two more. Darcy completed his hat trick 1:06 in to make it 3-0. Magliozzi, from Matt Furey and Nick Bligh, made it 4-0 at 13:07.
In the third, Matt Furey added a power play goal at the 14:45 mark, with assists going to Patrick Curtis and defenseman Mike Sullivan.
Small School Semifinal: Kimball Union 2, Tilton 1
Kimball Union got a pair of second period goals, the first a power play tally from defenseman Pat Doherty at the 13:25 mark, assisted by Gabe Veilleux and Dennis Kravchenko at 13:25, and the a second a Ryan Cole tally, with Rafael Turcotte and Doherty assisting.
Tilton's Justin Ducharme, from Julien Tetrault and Max Balaban, scored with 3:39 remaining in regulation to cut KUA's lead to 2-1.Tilton exerted heavy pressure at the end, but couldn't push home the tying goal.
Both goaltenders, KUA's Martin Oullette and Tilton's William Flachsbinder, had strong games.
KUA will play the winner of the upcoming Dexter-Hebron game at 10:30 am tomorrow.
