Small and Large School Semifinals
Salem, NH, Icecenter, Sat. March 2

Martin/Earl Tournament (Large School Div.)
Semifinals

#3 Avon Old Farms 3, #2 Thayer 2 -- final.

Entering the third period trailing 2-1, Avon struck for two quick ones within the first five minutes of the period to take a 3-2 decision from Thayer Academy and advance to face Cushing in the title game of the Large School Tournament on Sunday (1:00 pm).

Here, in brief, is how things happened in the third. With the Winged Beavers on the power play, senior D Griff Martin tied the game at 2-2 on a shot from the point at the 1:12 mark. Senior Mason Krueger got an assist on the play.

Minutes later, Krueger, from Brennan Kee, and defenseman Sam Loizeaux, scored the game winner. It was Krueger’s second goal of the game.

In the first period, the two teams traded goals, one early, when freshman Montgomery Graham put Thayer up just 35 seconds in, and the other late in the period when Avon’s Krueger, on the power play, scored his first goal of the game, with assists going to Cody Champagne and Kee.

Avon sophomore goalie Tucker Weppner came up with a big stop on Thayer's  Robert Carmody with 7:43 left in the period.

In the second, Thayer took a 2-1 lead on a nice goal, when defenseman Stephen Cochrane got it up the wall to Adam Gaudette who moved it to Neil Conway. Conway, in turn, made an excellent pass to Tyler Amonte driving down the slot. Amonte buried it at 12:55, to give Thayer their second – and last – lead of the night.


#1 Cushing 4, #4 Exeter 2 -- final

Cushing Academy topped Exeter 4-2 in the first of two semifinals today in Salem, NH and will move on to face the winner of the upcoming Thayer-Avon game for the Large School Championship on Sunday (1:00 pm).

The turning point of this game came early in the second period when, with the score tied at 1-1 and Exeter on the power play, Cushing came up with a shorthanded goal when defenseman Richey Boyd sprung junior Adam Augusta on a 2-on-1 give-and-go. Mozzer buried it at 3:56 to score what would stand up as the game winner.

Less than five minutes later, Tommy DeFelice, with an assist going to Mozzer, scored to give Cushing a 3-1 lead.

Exeter made things interesting when, just 20 seconds into the third period, senior Jake Lessick cut the Cushing lead to 3-2. That was as close as it got, though, as Penguins' senior Garrett Hehir scored an empty-netter with 39 seconds left.

The two teams traded goals in the first period, with Hehir putting Cushing up 1-0 2:49 into the game.

Exeter senior Patrick Lackey answered at 12:56 of the period, on a low shot from the right faceoff circle.

Senior goaltender Mike Dion got the win for Cushing; sophomore Michael Lackey took the loss in the Exeter net. Shots on goal favored Cushing, 22-18.


Piatelli/Simmons Tournament (Small School Div.)

Semifinals

#2 Brooks 2, #3 Tilton 1 -- final

A second period goal off the stick of sophomore forward KJ Moore broke a 1-1 tie and lifted Brooks to a 2-1 win over Tilton in the second semifinal today in Salem, NH.

Brooks will face off against top seed Kents Hill Sunday (10:30 am) in the Small School Championship Game.

All scoring today came in the second period. Just 36 seconds in, on the power play, Moore found junior Ian Speliotis open at the far side. Speliotis didn’t miss, and Brooks took a quick 1-0 lead.

Tilton tied it up at 1-1 at the 11:13 mark on a nice goal by senior Peyton Baldillez. As he was falling, Baldillez managed to chip it over Brooks senior goalie Colin Langham.

Fourteen seconds later, Brooks -- and KJ Moore-- came right back and nailed the game winner.

Both goalies played strong games – Langham for Brooks; and senior Brenden Cain for Tilton. Brooks outshot Tilton, 16-14.


#1 Kents Hill 5, #4 Holderness 1 --- final

Senior D Logan Day and senior forward Marc Dufour each had two goals to pace top seed Kents Hill to a 5-1 win over Holderness in the first small school semifinal in Salem, NH this morning. Kents Hill moves on to face the winner of Brooks vs. Tilton in Sunday morning's championship game.
