Foegele Notches Hat Trick; SAC Tops Belmont Hill

Belmont, Mass. -- St. Andrew’s College senior Warren Foegele, a fall ’15 UNH recruit, notched a hat trick -- and added three assists -- to lead his team to a 6-2 win over Belmont Hill this afternoon.

It was, from the St. Andrew’s perspective, another game, and they treated it as such. They are now 11-0-0. For Belmont Hill, however, it was very much a scrimmage. They wore practice jerseys, coach Jeremiah McCarthy still has final cuts to make and was tinkering with line combinations, and, well, the Hillies looked like what they were: a team that hasn’t yet played a game.

This is not to take anything away from the visitors from Ontario. They are young, skating ten ‘97s, but are also a very formidable team.

In the first period, St. Andrew’s tilted the ice their way and forced Belmont Hill senior goaltender Ryan McConnell to play a terrific period. We can’t tell you what the shots were, but there were a lot – and McConnell stopped every one of them.

At the 2:09 mark of the second, Bel Hill broke out to a 1-0 lead when senior forward Dan Seibel stuffed a rebound past St. Andrew’s senior goaltender Brett Nichol.

Less than a minute later, at 3:04, St. Andrew’s got it right back when a shot from the right point by junior D Austin Cho broke past McConnell. Fogele and Adam Sinclair, a Harvard '15 recruit, got the assists.

Fogele made it 1-1 when he took a nice pass through the neutral zone from senior Matthew Kennedy, cut to the net and showed hands and patience in deking McConnell from in tight, sliding the puck past him at the 5:15 mark.

Less than three minutes later, on the PP, Fogele struck again, taking a pass from Cho at the top of the right faceoff circle and firing a rocket that beat McConnell top corner to the glove side, making it 3-1 at the 7:59 mark.

With 4:46 left in the second, a shot from the point by Belmont Hill junior D Charlie Barrow found its way through traffic to cut the SAC lead to 3-2 at the second intermission.

The second was Belmont Hill’s best period of the day.

In the third, St. Andrew’s would again dominate, scoring three unanswered goals. The first, on the power play, came when senior captain Matthew Graham scored from a scrum in front at 11:58. Less than two minutes later, at 13:54, Fogele completed his hat trick, once again converting a nice tape-to-tape pass from Kennedy. A couple minutes later, with 2:10 left on the clock, and his team on the power play, senior Zac Masson tapped home a nice pass from the corner by Graham for the 6-2 final.

For Bel Hill, McConnell played better than the final score indicated. The St. Andrew’s forwards were swarming in his end for long stretches, cycling the puck well, and generally forcing the Belmont Hill D to scramble. In addition, Belmont Hill took six minors, three of which SAC converted on.

Belmont Hill senior Matt Melanson failed to get on the scoreboard, though he came close in the second, forcing Nichol to come up with a big save. Despite having nothing to show for his efforts, Melanson was a consistent threat and will be counted on to come up with a big year for the Hillies. Senior Joe Welch was consistently good, too. (Senior Will Golonka was not in the lineup.)

For St. Andrew’s, Foegele, who is almost certain to hear his name called at the NHL draft next June, was a constant force in all three zones, and very strong on the puck. He’s a determined, hungry player who plays through guys, protects the puck well, and has a skill level that it is equal to his compete level.

Kennedy deserves credit for the excellent work he did getting the puck to Foegele on two of his three goals. LD Austin Cho provided offense from the blue line. RC Sinclair, who tweaked his back a couple weeks ago at the MPHL Showcase in Burlington, Vt., was back in action, and showed flashes but also a bit of rust.

SAC will be back in action at Belmont Hill’s Jamboree starting at 9:30 Saturday morning. Proctor, Governor’s, and Winchendon round out the five-team field.
