Sat. Feb. 25 Highlights
Gunnery 4 @ Berkshire 3: Gunnery held on for a narrow 4-3 win over Berkshire in the game of the day between two playoff-bound teams. Berkshire scored twice with the goalie pulled to make it close, but junior goaltender Dawson Sprigings (33 saves) shut the door late to pull out the win. For Berkshire, the loss drops them into the Large School Tournament, while Gunnery will hit the road in the Elite Eight.
@ Kimball Union 2, Tilton 1: Kimball Union likely punched their ticket for the Elite Eight with a 2-1 win over Tilton. Junior Nick Rufo was the man for KUA, scoring both goals including the winner at 4:18 of the third period.
Exeter 6 @ Andover 4: Senior captains Brian Hart and Will Goss each had a pair of goals for Exeter in a win over rival Andover. Exeter is headed for the Elite Eight, and will have a home game Wednesday.
@ Avon 6, Loomis-Chaffee 1: Avon conceded the first goal but scored the final six in a home win over Loomis. Avon senior Dylan Shamburger was the game’s high scorer with two goals and two assists. Avon senior goalie Ben Freiberg got the start in place of Michael Santaguida and performed well, making 20 saves on 21 shots. The Beavers did their part and should be the final entry into the Elite Eight.
@ Cushing 4, Berwick 3: Sophomore forward Shane Eiserman’s second goal of the game gave host Cushing an overtime win over Berwick. Berwick freshman defenseman Liam Darcy had two goals and an assist in the loss. The win likely won’t be enough to get Cushing into the Elite Eight.
Choate 3 @ Kent 1: Choate junior Alex Rauter’s two third period goals lifted Choate to a 3-1 victory; Rauter scored the game-winner at 7:44 of the period and then tacked on some insurance with an empty-netter. Kent outshot Choate 37-32, but Choate freshman Sam Tucker stood tall in net, making 36 saves to earn the win.
Lawrence 4, St. Paul’s 3: Lawrence senior blueliner Jacob Schechter scored at 2:30 of overtime to give his team a 4-3 win up in Concord, NH. St. Paul’s junior goalie Michael Pinios kept the hosts in the game, making 48 saves. St. Paul’s senior Josh Dickman had a pair of goals in the loss. Lawrence had already clinched the Keller Division crown.
Salisbury 3 @ Canterbury 1: Salisbury finished up its regular season with a 3-1 win at Canterbury. Senior Philip Zielonka and junior Aaron Berisha each had a goal and an assist for the Knights. Salisbury finishes up the regular season with its 13th win in a row.
@ Holderness 6, Brewster 1: A four-goal outburst in just over four minutes during the second period propelled Holderness to a 6-1 win over Brewster in Lakes Region Tournament play. Junior defenseman Phil Johansson scored twice for the hosts. Holderness will play in the postseason in the Small School Tournament, no small achievement considering their 7-21-1 record last season. Holderness will also face KUA Sunday morning (11:00 a.m. at Plymouth State) in the title game of the Lakes Region Tournament.
@ Kents Hill 4, Hebron 1: Kents Hill used three third period powerplay goals to beat Hebron 4-1. Sophomore forward Jared Cockrell paced the Kents Hill offense with a goal and two assists. Kents Hill outshot Hebron 46-19.
@ Dexter 10, Worcester Academy 1: Dexter whacked Worcester Academy by a score of 10-1. Juniors Tim Harrison (1g, 3a) and Trevor Fidler (2g, 2a) did the most damage for the hosts. Shots were a lopsided 51-24.
St. Sebastian’s 6, Thayer 3: St. Sebastian’s broke open a 3-3 game with three third period goals in a game played at BU’s Walter Brown Arena. Junior Tommy Kelly had a hat-trick for St. Sebastian’s, while junior Jonathan Sheedy picked up a pair for Thayer.
@ Millbrook 4, Portledge 3: Millbrook senior Evan Marek scored just 58 seconds into overtime to lift Millbrook over Portledge in an Empire Cup consolation game. Portledge sophomore defenseman Brandon Fortunato assisted on all three of his team’s goals, including Jesse Schandler’s 6x5 goal with 1:17 left that sent the game to overtime.
@ South Kent 6, Hoosac 1: South Kent beat Hoosac 6-1 on goals from six different skaters. PG goalie Gianluca Vallini made 30 saves to get the win between the pipes for the Cardinals.
Groton 3 @ St. Mark’s 3: St. Mark’s junior Mark Upton salvaged a point for his team by scoring at 17:21 of the third period. Groton senior Mike Doherty had two goals for the visitors.
Williston-Northampton 3, Pomfret 2: Williston jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first period and held on for the win at Pomfret. Williston junior goaltender Jean-Francois Boucher made 26 saves to get the win in net.
Brooks 5 @ BB&N 2: Brooks took the Eberhart title with a 5-2 win over BB&N. Senior Nick Potter and junior Connor Hannough had two goals apiece for Brooks. With wins by both KUA and Gunnery, it looks like Brooks will make the Small School Tournament.
Brunswick 7, Albany Academy 4: Brunswick came out flying and built a 4-0 lead early in a 7-4 win over Albany Academy in the title game of the Empire Cup Tournament. Junior Sean MacTavish (2g, 1a) and seniors Kevin Duane (2g) and Luke Esposito (1g, 2a) led the offense for Brunswick.
