Wed. Feb. 1 Highlights
Gunnery 9 @ Millbrook 0: #6 Gunnery blasted Millbrook 9-0 behind two-goal efforts from junior Anthony Luzzi and seniors Jarrid Privitera and Benjamin Hjalmarsson. Junior goalie Dawson Sprigings was only called on to make 18 saves, but he made them all to post the shutout.
@ Avon 2, Westminster 0: Seventh-ranked Avon made it two wins over Westminster in 10 days with a 2-0 home victory. Senior Michael Santaguida turned away all 31 Westminster shots, and junior Vincent Russo (1g, 1a) figured in both goals for the hosts. Avon has won four in a row.
Cushing 5 @ Tilton 3: Cushing overcame an early 2-0 deficit to beat Tilton by a score of 5-3. Cushing forward Garrett Hehir (2g, 2a) was involved every time that the Penguins beat Tilton goaltender Matt Faye, only failing to record a point on Mike Walker’s unassisted empty-netter. Cushing senior Chad Hardy had a strong day in goal, making 35 saves on 38 shots and helping negate Tilton’s 38-34 shot advantage.
@ Albany Academy 4, South Kent 3: PG Alec Mansfield made 35 saves to help #8 Albany Academy squeak by South Kent, 4-3. Albany senior Tyler Hynes and junior Derek Barach each had a goal and an assist in the win. South Kent senior Yannick Crete had a pair of goals. Albany snapped a two-game losing streak.
Kimball Union 6 @ Northfield-Mt. Hermon 3: Kimball Union – ranked #3 in the most recent Prep Poll – jumped out to a 3-0 first period lead and never looked back in a 6-3 win over NHM. Six different players found the back of the net for KUA. Junior defenseman Will Blazer scored twice for NMH in a losing effort. KUA is unbeaten since January 7th.
@ Salisbury 6, Trinity-Pawling 3: #4 Salisbury doubled up T-P to earn its sixth consecutive win. Senior captain Marc Biega led the offense from the blue line, with a goal and two assists. Salisbury held a decisive 39-14 shot advantage.
Choate 5 @ Hotchkiss 1: Choate junior Alex Rauter (2g, 2a) and senior Bill Seligman (2g, 1a) both had big days in the Wild Boars’ 5-1 victory over Hotchkiss. Choate freshman netminder Sam Tucker kicked out 31 of 32 shots to earn the win, and now boasts an impressive .936 save percentage.
@ Brunswick 8, Portledge 2: Senior Kevin Duane had a hat trick in the second period and Brunswick cruised to an 8-2 home win over Portledge. Brunswick had 54 shots on goal compared to only 20 for Portledge.
@ Pingree 6, Vermont Academy 2: Pingree senior forward Matt Mattie had two goals and two assists in a 6-2 win over Vermont Academy. The hosts led by only one entering the third period, but three consecutive powerplay goals made the outcome a foregone conclusion. Shots were 36-27 Pingree.
@ Berkshire 6, Canterbury 2: #9 Berkshire picked up a 6-2 home win over Canterbury. Sophomore forward Craig Puffer had two goals – one on the powerplay and one shorthanded. Berkshire had a dominating 47-18 shot advantage. The Bears got back on track after last Saturday’s setback at Salisbury halted a seven-game winning streak.
Lawrence 1 @ Belmont Hill 1: In a game with significant Keller Division implications, Lawrence and Belmont Hill battled to a 1-1 tie. Lawrence junior defenseman Michael Russo scored just 21 seconds in, but the Belmont Hill defense tightened up and kept it close until junior Carl Hesler tied the score with 17 seconds left in the second. Both goalies – Belmont Hill’s Ryan McConnell (24 saves) and Lawrence’s Nathaniel Heilbron (33 saves) – played well in a game without much margin for error.
@ Dexter 10, Pomfret 2: Dexter blasted Pomfret 10-2. The hosts scored three times in the first five minutes of the game. Shots were 40-29 in favor of Dexter.
Holderness 3 @ Exeter 3: A 6-on-5 goal by post-grad defenseman Austin Caito saved second-ranked Exeter from an upset at the hands of Holderness. Senior forward Andrew Walsh scored twice for Holderness, which sports an impressive 14-4-2 record but lacks a signature win this season. This was Exeter’s second tie in a week, but they remain unbeaten since December 4th.
St. Paul’s 5 @ Governor’s Academy 2: St. Paul’s went to Byfield and earned a convincing win over Governor’s Academy. The visitors got goals from five different players and had 12 players record points in a balanced offensive effort. Junior forward James Murphy had both goals for Governor’s. St. Paul’s held a 41-26 edge in shots.
Nobles 3 @ Thayer 2: Senior captain Andrew Doane’s third-period powerplay goal lifted Nobles over Thayer 3-2. It was the second consecutive game in which the Bulldogs – prep hockey’s top-ranked team – needed a late goal to beat a weaker opponent, and both times Doane was the one to come through. The sky is hardly falling in Dedham however: Nobles is unbeaten since December 3rd, 16-1-1 and the consensus best team in New England.
@ Worcester Academy 6, Portsmouth Abbey 3: Worcester sophomore forward Joe Caico scored four times as his team beat Portsmouth Abbey 6-3. The game was tied entering the third period before Caico struck twice to put the Hilltoppers on top to stay. Shots were 49-24 in favor of the hosts.
@ Rivers 4, Groton 2: Rivers’ junior captain Patrick Young scored a pair of goals and the Red Wings doubled up Groton 4-2 at home. Groton senior Mike Doherty matched Young with two goals of his own, but that was all the offense Groton could manage. Rivers owned a significant 36-16 shot advantage.
@ Andover 5, Deerfield 2: Senior Tim Driscoll’s hat-trick helped Andover beat Deerfield 5-2. Junior Eddie Ellis assisted on all three of Driscoll’s goals, and junior goalie Ross Bendetson picked up the win in net, making 30 saves.
Milton 4 @ St. Sebastian’s 2: A Teo Camadella goal at 14:53 of the third period broke a 2-2 tie and propelled Milton to a 4-2 upset win over St. Sebastian’s in Needham. Milton held the edge in shots (36-24). St. Seb’s is now 3-7-1 in its last 11 games.
@ Kent 5, Taft 2: Kent picked up a 5-2 home win over Taft. The Lions got goals from five different scorers, and outshot Taft 45-26. Kent junior goaltender Charlie Fennell turned aside 24 of 26 shots to earn the victory.
@ Middlesex 5, St. George’s 2: Freshman Eric Shaw (1g, 2a) and senior Jonathan Milne (2g) led the way as Middlesex beat rival St. George’s 5-2. Shots were even at 35, but Middlesex senior Michael Pigula made 33 saves to backstop his team to victory.
@ Tabor 6, BB&N 3: Tabor – trailing 2-0 in the second – scored three times in less than two minutes and never looked back in a 6-3 win over BB&N. Senior forward Kevin Salvucci had two goals and an assist to lead the offense for the hosts.
@ St. Mark’s 7, Roxbury Latin 1: St. Mark’s junior Mike Pontarelli’s hat trick led the way as St. Mark’s rolled over RL 7-1. Junior forward JT Lynch also chipped in a goal and two assists for the Lions.
Berwick 2 @ Brooks 1: Berwick PG Jaret Canney broke a 1-1 deadlock at 5:07 of the third period and Berwick beat Brooks 2-1. Brooks has dropped two games in a row since their big upset win over Governor’s last week. Berwick PG goalie Jay Finch (23 saves) picked up the win in net.
@ Winchendon 9, Hoosac 1: Winchendon blasted Hoosac by a score of 9-1. The hosts got four-point efforts from seniors Ryan O’Toole and Michael Restuccia. Winchendon junior Simon Jasmin made 23 saves in the win.
@ Hebron 9, North Yarmouth 0: Hebron blasted Maine rival North Yarmouth 9-0. Hebron junior goalie Alex Bitsakis picked up the rare single-digit-save shutout, making nine saves to keep the clean sheet.
