Sat. March 4 Div. I Semifinals Highlights
Kent 2, Nobles 1 (3 Overtimes)
Kent junior forward Julia Nearis scored with seven minutes left in the third overtime period to stun #2-ranked Nobles, 2-1, in a remarkable girls hockey game at Dedham today.
Kent advances to Sunday’s Div. I Championship Game against New Hampton, with a 3:00 pm faceoff at Phillips Andover.
Kent struck first today, scoring with about a minute left in the first period when senior standout Keely Moy capitalized on a bad turnover by the Nobles defender and then showed tremendous poise, holding the puck across the slot while looking for an opening and then delivering a laser top shelf.
The score remained 1-0 deep into the third period when, with three minutes left, Kent took a bad penalty, handing Nobles the power play opportunity they were waiting for. And Nobles wasted no time either, tying the score when sophomore defenseman Lily Farden took a pass at the blue line and snuck one through a screen past Kent senior goaltender Becky Dutton.
In overtime, both teams had great chances but both Dutton and Nobles junior goalie Kelly Pickreign were at the top of their games. Nobles freshman Casey O’Brien had a couple of point-blank chances but just couldn’t find the back of the net.
The winning goal came off a Nobles giveaway in the neutral zone which allowed Nearis to come down on a 2-on-1 and rip a shot that Pickreign saved. Nearis, though, was left uncovered by the Nobles defenseman and she didn’t miss with her second chance, scoring on the rebound to give Kent a 2-1 win in a game for the ages.
New Hampton 3, Loomis 2
Senior forward Taylor Curtis, a Syracuse recruit, scored with 40 seconds left in a wild third period to stun #1-ranked Loomis and secure a spot in the finals tomorrow vs. Kent. Curtis’s goal came right after Loomis senior Maddie Leidt tied it up for the Pelicans with just over a minute left in the game.

Finals Prediction:
In case anyone is keeping score, we had both games right today and have now called five of the six D-I playoff games correctly. We’ll have to see if our crystal ball retains its powers for one more day, so here goes: Kent 4, New Hampton 2.
We know Kent is exhausted after basically playing two games today, but they look like a team on a mission -- and Becky Dutton is completely locked in right now.
