Fri. March 1:

Stuart/Corkery Tournament (Open Div.)
Semifinals

#1 Kent 3, #4 Gunnery 0 -- final.

Whatever emotional capital Gunnery carried into the playoffs must have been spent in getting past #1-ranked Kimball Union in the quarterfinals because they were never able to get on track tonight, winding up on the short end of a 3-0 decision to Kent.

Senior goaltender Charlie Fennell picked up the shutout for Kent, though he wasn’t challenged much.

The Lions played a steady, methodical game, picking up a goal in each period and never once allowing Gunnery to gain traction.

In the first period, Gunnery made it tough on themselves by taking a slew of penalties, including a major and game misconduct to senior Marc Cibelli for a hit from behind.

Gunnery, however, did do a good job killing off a 5-on-3, and senior goaltender Dawson Sprigings had too come up with some big saves to keep his team in the game.

Kent went up 1-0 at 6:55 of the first period on a power play goal – a shot from the point by senior D Chris Capizzano that found its way through traffic at 6:55. Assists went to Phil Klitorinos and Mitch Allen.

In the second, after Sprigings went out to play the puck, the disc deflected off the stomach of Kent sophomore d-man Keanu Hilaire and into the net at the 8:02. Sophomore Max Kaufman picked up an assist.

In the third period, junior Anthony Rinaldi, on a power play, tipped Mike Graham’s point shot to put Kent up 3-0. Danny Casey also assisted on the goal.

And that was it. Gunnery was never able to pull the goalie or get any kind of late offense.

Kent moves on to play the winner of 8:00 pm Salisbury-Westminster semifinal in Sunday’s championship.


#2 Salisbury 4, #3 Westminster 3 (OT) -- final

A power play goal off the stick of Salisbury junior forward Evan Smith at 13:25 of overtime – his second goal of the game -- lifted the Crimson Knights to a 4-3 overtime win over Westminster.

Salisbury will meet Kent Sunday afternoon for the 2012-13 New England Prep School Championship.

After a busy first period in which the two teams combined for four goals, traded leads twice, and entered the first intermission tied at 2-2, the game settled down and became a contest of momentum shifts anchored by solid goaltending at both ends. Salisbury soph Callum Booth and Westminster junior Zac Hamilton both had to be on their toes, with shots coming from all angles on the big sheet.

In the second, Salisbury had the edge in play and took a 3-2 lead at the 12:48 mark when junior defenseman Will Toffey’s shot from the left point went wide, caromed off the end boards and onto the stick of  sophomore Mitchell Smith – Evan’s twin brother -- who buried it. Salisbury had the edge in play in the second but could not score again, and carried a slim 3-2 lead into the second intermission.

In the third period, Salisbury wasn’t able to hold the lead, as Westminster junior forward Tristan Rai got the goal that would tie things up at 3-3 4:02 in. Sophomore Jack Fitzgerald made the pass that Rai converted. Junior D Erik Rost also got an assist. It was the only goal of the period, one in which Westminster held a slight edge in play.

As mentioned, most of the game’s goal scoring came early on. Very early on, actually, as Westy started the scoring just 45 seconds after the opening faceoff when senior Vincent Gisonti came barreling down the left side and snapped off a quick shot that beat Booth far side to make it 1-0.

Salisbury senior Jacob Hand, with Westminster freshman Taggart Corriveau off for hooking, tied it up 1-1 with a shot from the left point at the 11:08 mark.

Less than a minute later, Westminster’s Jack Fitzgerald broke over the blue line and ripped off a long shot that caught Booth flatfooted at the 12:05 mark to give Westminster a 2-1 lead.

With 43 seconds left in the period, Salisbury’s Evan Smith got the puck at the top of the crease, held it patiently until Hamilton committed and lifted it over him to knot the game at 2-2.

Smith’s big goal would come nearly 50 minutes later – and Salisbury moves on, with a chance at a title.
