Wed. Feb. 15 Highlights
Avon 2 @ Choate 0: Senior Senior Michael Santaguida raised his save percentage to .944 with a 28-save shutout of Choate. Junior Vincent Russo and sophomore Jackson Tucker had the goals for the Winged Beavers, who sit at #6 in the prep poll.
@ Exeter 4 @ Northfield-Mt. Hermon 3: Brian Hart and Matt Beattie rescued #4 Exeter from an upset at the hands of NMH. Hart scored on a penalty shot with just 18 seconds to play in regulation to tie the game at three; the penalty shot was awarded when officials ruled that a NMH player had intentionally knocked the net off its pegs. Beattie got the winner with only 11 seconds left in overtime. NMH senior Brandon Bete scored twice in the loss. Exeter, who tied Brewster on Monday, has three more games to sharpen up before playoff time.
Berkshire 2 @ Pomfret 2: Junior goalie Nick Ellis helped his team steal a point from Berkshire with 48 saves. Pomfret sophomore Andrew Slotnick tied the game at 9:45 of third. Berkshire outshot Pomfret 50-12 in the game.
Kimball Union 6 @ Proctor 1: Senior Elie Vered and junior Jonathan Charbonneau each scored twice in a six-goal second period. Junior Casey Miller chipped in three assists for fifth-ranked KUA. Junior Eric Bogart kicked out 30 of 31 to earn the win.
@ Belmont Hill 7, Milton 3: Belmont Hill scored five times in the first and coasted the rest of the way against Milton. Belmont Hill junior EJ Rauseo and senior Devin Albert each had two goals. As of today, Belmont Hill holds the eighth and final spot in the Elite Eight.
@ Nobles 5, BB&N 1: Chris Calnan’s (2g, 2a) four points helped Nobles snap a two-game losing skid. BB&N found out that giving up three shorthanded goals is not the recipe for upsetting the #1-ranked team in prep hockey on their home ice. Nobles plays Belmont Hill Friday in a potential playoff preview.
Lawrence 6 @ Governor’s 3: Lawrence moved one step closer to winning the Keller Division with a win at Governor’s. Senior Conor Helfrich scored twice for the Spartans. Governor’s tried to make a comeback late in the third but Lawrence junior Thomas Newton snuffed it out with an empty-netter.
Hotchkiss 5 @ Kent 5: 59 minutes couldn’t separate Hotchkiss and Kent. Hotchkiss led 5-3 with seven minutes to go, but Kent scored twice in just over a minute to tie it. Senior Rob Gardiner scored twice for Hotchkiss while senior Ryan Rosenthal and junior Danny Casey had two apiece for Kent.
@ Winchendon 8, Holderness 0: Holderness – perhaps a bit overconfident coming off Saturday’s 3-2 upset of KUA – got blasted 8-0 by Winchendon. Post-grads Dantil Medvedev (2g, 2a) and Doug Usseglio and seniors Ryan O’Toole (1g, 2a) and Michael Restuccia (1g, 2a) had big days offensively for Winchendon. Winchendon junior Simon Jasmin stopped all 20 pucks that he saw to earn the shutout.
Millbrook 5 @ Trinity-Pawling 2: A hat-trick by senior Phil Di Giacomo powered Millbrook past T-P in a New York state matchup. Millbrook outshot T-P 42-22.
Middlesex 5 @ Portsmouth Abbey 2: Junior Chris Jellison’s hat-trick led Middlesex to a road win over Portsmouth Abbey. Shots favored the visitors by a 48-22 margin.
Deerfield 6 @ Taft 4: Sophomore Cam Blanchet’s third goal of the day proved decisive as Deerfield won at Taft. Deerfield sophomore Trevor Yates recorded four assists, and junior goalie Adam Ellison made 28 saves to overcome Taft’s 32-26 shot advantage. Junior Al Nejmeh (2g) and senior John-John Ganss (3a) led the offense for Taft.
New Hampton 2 @ Hebron 1: Junior Bryce Steen’s third period goal was the difference as New Hampton upset Hebron on the road. Both goalies played well in this one, as New Hampton’s Stephen Tomaro and Hebron’s Alex Bitsakis made 30 and 36 saves respectively.
@ Thayer 6, Tabor 3: Thayer doubled up Tabor 6-3 at Canton, Mass. Sophomore John Barry (2g, 1a), junior Jonathan Sheedy (1g, 2a) and freshman Lincoln Griffin (4a) led the way offensively for the hosts. Senior Matthew Salhany (2g, 1a) figured in all three Tabor goals. Thayer, after enduring a 13-game losing streak, has now won two straight.
@ Groton 2, Brooks 0: Sophomore goalie Matt Pompa’s 31-save shutout led Groton over Brooks. The hosts scored both of their goals on the powerplay. Brooks – once firmly in control of the Eberhart Division – has lost two league games in eight days and are now tied with Rivers in the loss column (Rivers has one more win).
Canterbury 5 @ Williston-Northampton 4: Canterbury junior forward Jeff Celniker’s third goal of the game gave Canterbury the win at 2:07 of overtime. Norwegian post-grad Ole Setsaas scored twice for Williston in defeat. The Saints have come on strong late in the season, going 7-2 in their last nine games.
Cushing 3 @ Andover 3: Cushing and Andover skated to a 3-3 tie. Junior forward Jason Nawrocki scored twice for the hosts. Both teams had 35 shots on goal.
Westminster 8 @ Loomis-Chaffee 1: Senior Emilio Audi and junior Vincent Gisonti (1g, 3a) each had four points in Westminster’s blowout win over Loomis. Sophomore Zac Hamilton got the nod and played well in place of Patrick Spano, making 25 saves.
Salisbury 14 @ Kingswood-Oxford 0: Salisbury showed no mercy in beating Kingswood-Oxford by two touchdowns. K-O junior goalie Anthony Giordano saw 80 – yes, 80 – shots, stopping 66.
St. George’s 5 @ Roxbury Latin 0: Senior Jimmy Ferretti’s hat-trick led the way as St. George’s blanked RL. St. George’s Alex Hope made 30 saves to record the shutout.
Dexter 2 @ Berwick 2: Ricky Kramer’s 6-on-5 goal with 34 seconds left tied the game, and overtime could not separate Dexter and Berwick. Dexter probably feels they let one get away, as they led 2-0 going into the third and outshot Berwick 43 to 24. Berwick PG Jay Finch was strong between the pipes, making 41 saves.
@ St. Sebastian’s 1, St. Paul’s 0: St. Sebastian’s senior Gordon Donnelly had a 33-save shutout and senior David Loughborough scored the game’s only goal in a 1-0 win over St. Paul’s.
