Sat. Jan. 17, 2015 Highlights

-- Gardner Wins #700; Exeter Edges Andover in OT

Avon Old Farms 3 @ Kent 2 -- Avon head coach John Gardner earned his 700th win today as the Winged Beavers, playing on the road, came back from a 2-0 first period deficit to win 3-2 on junior Tyler Carangelo's second goal of the game with 47 seconds remaining. Avon senior Tucker Weppner (29/31) got the win, while Kent soph Peter Negron (32/35) took the loss.

Salisbury 4 @ Westminster 2 -- Westminster's Jack Fitzgerald scored a SHG to put the hosts up 2-0 early in the second, but #5 Salisbury bounced back with three in the second, and added another in the third. Junior F Mike O'Leary (2g,1a) led Salisbury, who were outshot 36-22. PG G Bailey MacBurnie (34/36) had a big day between the pipes for Salisbury, which has won six in a row. Westminster has lost four of their last five.

@ Belmont Hill 5, Governor's 3 -- Belmont Hill got goals from five different scorers today to make up for a 3-2 loss at Gov's on Dec. 10. In the 13 games since then, the Hillies have lost only one game (to Brunswick at the Belmont Hill-Nichols Tournament). In NEPSIHA play, Bel Hill is 7-1-3 in that span.

St. Paul's 3 @ St. Sebastian's 0 -- The host Arrows outshot SPS, 34-23, but came up empty as St. Paul's senior G Nathan Colannino (34/34) shut them out. St. Seb's has gone 0-4-1 in their last five games. In the four losses the Arrows have only come up with two goals while being shut out twice. 

@ Berkshire 7, Williston 5 --Sophomore F Ryan Keelan (2g,1a) and junior F Barclay Gammill (2g,1a) led the Bears' attack. For Williston, senior F Tyler Scroggins (1g,2a) had three points.

Nobles 5 @ Proctor 0 -- #6 Nobles, with goals from five different scorers and a 31-save shutout from junior Brendan Cytulik, won their sixth straight.

@ Brunswick 4, Hoosac 1 -- Brunswick outshot Hoosac 52-17. Junior Brian Ketchabaw (16/17) got the win, but Hoosac senior G Jordan Elwood (48/52) battled hard to keep the final score respectable. #7 Brunswick has won six straight NEPSIHA games, and seven overall. They are now 17-3-0.

@ Brooks 3, Roxbury Latin 0 -- Brooks got goals from three different scorers and an 11-save shutout from sophomore Johnny Trotto. Roxbury Latin sophomore G Bryan McGrath (31/33) was the hard-luck loser. #10 Brooks improves to 11-1-2.

St. Mark's 4 @ Rivers 2 -- Junior Peter Housakos (1g,2a) and senior Adam Lee (1g,1a) led the offense and junior G Ryan Ferland (19/21) took care of business between the pipes. St. Mark's is now riding a seven-game unbeaten streak (6-0-1).

Exeter 4 @ Andover 3 (OT) -- Exeter had a 2-0 lead early in the second, but Andover came back with three straight goals to take a 3-2 lead. Exeter senior Andy Espinoza tied it up with 3:56 left in the second. After a scoreless third period, the game went into OT, where senior Teddy Hart won it, giving Exeter Part I of the rivalry. PG Bryan Botcher (30/33) got the win; Andover senior Erik Wurman (37/41) took the loss. #2 Exeter is now 14-0-0.

Loomis 7 @ Hotchkiss 1 -- Seniors Alex Esposito (2g,1a), Ben Sharf (1g,2a), and Eric Benshadle (1g,2a) led the Pelicans offense. In net, junior Tim Birarelli (21/22) played two periods, and soph Adin Farhat (8/8) played one. Shots were 30-30. #1 Loomis improves to 13-1-0.

NMH 9, Holderness 3 -- Senior Ben Freeman (2g,3a), senior Peter Owen Hayward (3g,1a), junior Oliver Chau (1g,3a), and PG Tommy O'Brien (3g) provided all the offense as the Hoggers, who hadn't scored as many as four goals in a game since Dec. 6, busted out. Senior G Conor O'Brien stopped 29 of 32 for the win.

Worcester Academy 2 @ Kingswood-Oxford 1 (OT) -- Freshman D Devin Lannan scored at 2:20 of OT to lift the Hilltoppers to the road win. Freshman G Devin Barresi kicked out 23 of 24 for the win. 

@ Lawrenceville 5, Académie Saint-Louis 1 -- Académie Saint-Louis outshot host L'ville 43-26 but junior G Zach McCloskey (42/43) came up big for the home team.

@ BB&N 7, Moses Brown 2 -- Sophomore F Alex Cohen (2g,1a) and freshman F Jack Studley (1g,2a) led the offense and junior G Sihak Lee stopped 19 of 20 shots (in 44 min.) for the win.

@ North Yarmouth Academy 5, Rye Country Day 2 -- Sophomore F Bobby Murray notched a hat trick and added an assist to lead NYA.

@ Trinity-Pawling 2, Deerfield 1 -- Senior F Austin Askoy scored a third period goal to lift T-P to the home win and snap a six-game winless streak. Senior Felix Marcotte-Hetu (18/19) earned the win. T-P outshot Deerfield 30-19. Deerfield senior G Jake Kahler had 28 saves in a losing cause.

@ Pingree 2, Middlesex 2 (OT) -- After Middlesex took a 2-0 lead in the first, Pingree came back with one in the second and one in the third to gain the tie. Pingree senior goalie Chris DeVito (40/42) and Middlesex junior Derek Goguen (23/25) had strong games.

Millbrook 5 @ Pomfret 2 -- Junior F Luka Piccolo (1g,2a) led the Millbrook point-getters and sophomore G Cole Hayward stopped 33 of 35 shots for the win.

@ Canterbury 5, Albany Academy 1 -- Junior forwards Travis Schneider (2g,2a) and Ryan Lynch (1g,2a) led the offense, and senior G Chris Krotz (25/26) got the win. A couple of AA's key players, leading scorer Kevin O'Neil and top D Jeff Fasegha, were injured and are out indefinitely.

New Hampton 6 @ Hebron 2 -- Junior forwards Dominick Thomas, with a hat trick, and Ty Turgeon, with a goal and two assists, led the New Hampton attack. Junior G Jacob Burhans picked up the win in goal.

@ Choate 4, Taft 2 -- Taft took a 2-1 lead into the third, but Choate responded with three consecutive goals, from Jeremy Germain, Henry Marshall, and Craig Uyeno (an empty-netter). Also, senior F Turner Uppgren had a goal and an assist for the Wild Boars, and senior F Trevor McGee did likewise for the Rhinos. Choate senior G Andrew Tucci (22/24) got the win and Taft sophomore G Andrew Farrier took the loss. 

Vermont Academy 4 @ Tilton 1 -- Junior forwards Houston Wilson (1g,1a and an ENG) and Justin Cole (1g,1a) were the big offensive contributors while junior goaltender Josh Bolding stopped 34 of the 35 shots he faced.

@ Tabor 1, Kimball Union 0 -- Junior defenseman Brett Dineen's second-period goal, and the shutout goaltending of senior Riley Whitham (23/23) were all Tabor needed to upset #8 KUA, who had won the Tabor Tournament two weeks ago here. KUA's PG goaltender Oscar Flory (22/23) was the hard-luck loser.

Sat. Jan. 31 Game Highlights

-- Interns Needed

Due to travel, there will be no game highlights for tonight. Please accept our apologies.

As usual, box scores will appear on the scoreboard page.

While we are on the subject of game highlights, we wish to announce that we are looking for one or more interns to handle part of this job for next season -- and possibly other writing assignments as well. While we are calling this an 'internship', it is actually a paid internship. The reason is simple. We do not approve of companies -- most with resources we can't even imagine  -- asking interns to work for free. So we won't do it. However, the pay will be on the nominal side. However, there will be chances for an increase.

Our search will center on prep, high school, or college students who are interested in sports journalism as a possible career. Someone recently out of college can also apply. Strong writing skills, which includes spelling and grammar, are requirements. Primary qualities we are looking for center around reliability, a desire to get the facts right, and an understanding of how news stories are constructed -- i.e., who, what, when, where, and (sometimes) why. Much of this will be learned by doing. The ability to write a great lede, from which the rest of any news story flows, takes a lot of practice. Writing game highlights is, essentially, writing a lede.

We don't care if applicants are male or female, or wish to work on the boys side of USHR, or the girls. We would like to at least try one or two applicants out between now and the end of the season.

Please send a writing example, be it journalism or any form of expository writing that you think represents your best work. Ideally, we would like to see submissions consist of one sports piece and one piece of expository writing on another subject. We're not picky, though. We're looking for promise. If you are proud of what you have, just send it along. And tell us a little something about yourself.

Please send to cwarner "at" ushr.com

Thank you.

Wed. Jan. 28, 2015 Highlights
Avon Tops #1 Loomis; Wood Ejected in Nobles Win

@ Avon Old Farms 5, Loomis-Chaffee 2 – After playing well but coming up short in a 3-2 loss to Westminster Monday, the host Winged Beavers came out flying against #1 Loomis, building a 4-1 lead after the first period en route to the 5-2 win. John Giatrelis (2g,1a) had three points for Avon; and Patrick Harper (1g,1a), Tyler Carangelo (1g,1a), Brendan Ashe (2a), and Ben Mirageas (2a) each had two. Tucker Weppner (28/30) earned the win; Tim Birarelli (20/25) took the loss.

@ Kimball Union 2, Exeter 2 – A Teddy Hart goal at 10:33 of the third lifted still-undefeated Exeter to a 2-2 tie with host Kimball Union today. Bobby Young and Ben Finkelstein scored for KUA, both in the first period, while Ben Solin scored #2 Exeter’s first goal, also in the first period. Bryan Botcher (30/32) and Peyton Porter (26/28) were the goaltenders.

@ Nobles 3, St. Sebastian’s 2 – St. Seb’s came out blazing and took a 2-0 first period lead on goals from Peter Mullin and Christian Reenstierna, but Nobles struck back with goals from Zach Janfaza and Cody Todesco in the final three minutes, tying the game at 2-2 heading into the first intermission. The game-winner, in a physical second period, came on a Pat Murray goal at 12:42. From there, the hosts held on. Nobles goaltender Brendan Cytulik (20/22) earned the win, while Danny Higgins (18/21) was the hard luck loser. The Arrows struggled on the power play, squandering 12 minutes of man-up play. Nobles’ Miles Wood was assessed a major/game misconduct for head-butting with five minutes left in the period. Nobles’ Murray got a major for cross-checking in the third. A Billy Carrabino penalty with 2:13 left in regulation gave St. Seb’s a chance to tie it up with the extra skater. For Nobles, Wood will miss Friday’s game vs. Rivers. 

Choate 3 @ Trinity-Pawling 2 – Host T-P held a 2-0 lead halfway through the second, but the Wild Boars came back with goals from Nick Sanchez and Charley Borek to send it to the second intermission at 2-2. Borek scored the game-winner – and his second goal of the game – at 7:40 of the third. Sam Tucker (33/35) earned the win. Felix Marcotte-Hetu (25/28) took the loss.

Westminster 7 @ Deerfield 4 – Juniors Taggart Corriveau (4g,1a) and Johnny McDermott (1g,4a) led the charge with five points apiece.

Cushing 6 @ NMH 3 – Cushing broke out to a 4-0 lead and never looked back. Jack Carroll (2g,1a), David Cotton (1g,2a), and Jake Simons (1g,2a) led the Penguins attack. Goalies were recent Arizona State commit Joey Daccord (21/24), and Conor O/Brien (40/46).

Salisbury 1 @ Gunnery 0 – A Mike O’Leary goal in the first period, and a shutout from Bailey MacBurnie (28/28) was all Salisbury needed today. Both teams played a good, hard game. And both goalies, Salisbury’s MacBurnie and Gunnery’s Trevin Kozlowski (26/27) played well.

@ Berkshire 6, Hotchkiss 2 – Ryan Keelan (2g,2a) and Barclay Gammill (2g,2a) each had four points in the Bears win over the Bearcats. Spencer Cookson (24/26) picked up the win.

@ Kent 6, Taft 2 – Teddy Simson (1g,2a), Conor Landrigan (2g), and Greg Krisberg (2a) led the Lions. Peter Negron kicked out 25 of 27 for the win.

Tilton 2 @ New Hampton 1 (OT) – A Justin Goldman goal at 3:58 of OT lifted the Rams to victory. Alexander Gerasimenko (25/26) got the win.

@ Kingswood-Oxford 2, Pomfret 1 – Brendan Lantieri scored both of the Wyverns’ goals and Nick Bridges stopped 23 of 24 for the win. David Altman (33/35) was the hard-luck loser for Pomfret.

@ Williston 4, Millbrook 2 – JoJo Carbone (2g,1a), Jack Kelly (1g,1a), and Tyler Scroggins (1g,1a) led the Williston offense. Goalies were Owen Johansson (31/34) for Millbrook, and Shane Mason (26/28) for Williston.

Brewster Academy 3, Holderness 2 – Holderness kept it close, but Brewster never trailed in this one despite being outshot 38-24.  Kevin Lacroix (36/38) earned the win.

No Losers in This One

Exeter, NH -- Dexter came close to knocking off undefeated Exeter tonight, but didn't and had to settle for a 2-2 tie in a game as good -- and as hard-fought -- as any we have seen this season.

"It felt like playoff hockey," Exeter coach Dana Barbin said afterward.

It did indeed.

For the first half of the game, it looked like Exeter, which held a 1-0 lead courtesy of junior center Devin Moore's rebound goal 25 seconds into the second period, was on the verge of taking control. Dexter was playing well, but it was also a slightly cautious, not-to-lose approach. Senior goaltender Nick Lanni, who has taken over as the Dexter's #1 goalie, was facing a lot of shots. And for the first half of the game he kept it a one-goal game.

Things became interesting when Dexter junior forward Patrick Daly scored after slipping a defender and breaking in alone on Exeter goalie Bryan Botcher. This, by the way, was a pure speed goal that not many prep players can make. Like Exeter's Teddy Hart, Daly is a player opponents have to be constantly aware of when he's on the ice. If he gets behind the D, he's off to the races, and that's what happened here.

Daly's goal changed the tenor of the game. From that point forward, the game was ratcheted up a couple of notches. Dexter, which previously had their hands full just trying to keep Exeter at bay, came to life, and, for the first time in the game, forced Exeter back on their heels and controlled play for a long stretch.

Exeter was allowing Dexter too much puck possesion time, and, not surprisingly, less than four minutes later, with 1:55 remaining in the period, junior Kevin Hock put Dexter up 2-1, a lead the visitors took into the second intermission.

Exeter, despite being unable to convert on any of their three power play opportunities in the game (Dexter had no power plays), got it back to 2-2 at the 2:49 mark of the third period when senior Andy Espinoza scored off a deflection in front.

With the score tied, 2-2, the third period featured great up-and-down hockey, missed chances, blocked shots, and some excellent saves. As the clock wound down, that game had that inevitability-of-overtime feel.

And overtime was the best of all. This was where Botcher had to come up big for Exeter, as Dexter controlled play early and in two separate sequences masses of players were all over the crease banging away at pucks, but Botcher stood tall and, while Exeter's winning streak is gone, they remain the only undefeated team in prep hockey.

"It was a great tie," Dexter coach Dan Donato said. "I think we found ourselves as a team. I think we played a more mature team game than we have lately. Our guys are understanding the system now. Our discipline on the forecheck didn't allow them to come up ice with speed. It was our best game in a while, but we still haven't put together a full game.

Donato reported that Lanni, Dexter's goaltender, gave a highly emotional speech in the locker room between the second and third period.

"He talked about a relative who had died of cancer. It was one of the best speeches I've ever heard," Donato said, adding, "It didn't leave me much to say."

Wed. Jan. 21, 2015 Highlights

T-P Ties Up Salisbury; Taft Puts a Scare into Loomis

Loomis 6 @ Taft 4 -- #1-ranked Loomis held a 5-0 lead over Taft going into the third period, but the Rhinos came out with a charge, scoring four consecutive goals -- led by a hat trick from sophomore Matteo Mangiardi -- in under nine minutes to put a scare into the visitors. Senior Ben Sharf (1g,2a) led the Loomis scorers. Loomis outshot Taft 32-29. The Pelicans are now 14-1-0. 

Exeter 5 @ Tabor 1 -- #2 Exeter moved to 15-0-0 as the senior line of Andy Espinoza (2g), Stanley Brenner, (1g,1a), and Max Roche (1g,1a) each had two points. So, too, did junior D Trevor Cosgrove (1g,1a).

@ Westminster 5, Canterbury 1 -- Senior Jack Fitzgerald (2g,1a), and juniors Taggart Corriveau (2g), and Kevin O'Leary (1g,1a) led the charge for Westminster. Junior Nick Sanford (15/16) got the win.

@ Choate 2, Berkshire 1 (OT) -- A goal from sophomore D Billy Overby -- his first of the year -- at 3:57 of overtime gave the Wild Boars the win. Choate senior Andrew Tucci (27/28) and Berkshire junior Spencer Cookson (33/35) had strong games between the pipes.

Cushing 7 @ Thayer 2 -- Cushing senior Stephen Marsico had a hat trick (the third goal was an empty-netter) and an assist to lead the Penguins past Thayer. Junior Ty Amonte (1g,1a) and senior Lincoln Griffin (2a) had a hand in both Thayer goals. Cushing actually had two ENG in this one, as coach Tony Amonte pulled Mike Royer for the extra skater at the start of the third period and again at the end. While the score would indicate that Cushing dominated Thayer, that's not quite true. Thayer outshot Cushing, 40-32. But Joey Daccord (38 saves) was the better goalie, and #3 Cushing improves to 14-1-2 in NEPSIHA play.

Hotchkiss 3 @ Kent 1 -- A third-period power play goal from junior Will Somers broke the 1-1 deadlock, and senior Tim Allen added an empty-netter. Hotchkiss senior Louis-Philippe De Courcy (32/33) got the win and Kent junior Jackson Norris (36/38) was the hard luck loser.
 
@ St. Sebastian's 4, Andover 2 -- Senior Will D'Orsi (1g,1eng, 1a) and sophomore RJ Murphy (1g,2a) led the attack and senior G Danny Higgins (21/23) did the rest. Andover's Rob Bakerian was called for a hit from behind and given a five minute major and a game misconduct at 1:49 of the first.

Kimball Union 4 @ Deerfield 2 -- With the two teams tied 1-1 in the third, KUA went on a binge, striking for three straight goals in under two minutes. PG Oscar Flory (17/19) got the win. The #8 Wildcats improved to 15-4-0.

Pomfret 2 @ Worcester Academy 1 (OT) -- Junior F Christian Figliola scored his first goal of the season at 2:04 to lift Pomfret to the OT win. Pomfret senior Carlin Testa and Worcester junior Jack Moore (26/28) were strong in net.

Trinity-Pawling 3 @ Salisbury 3 --  The two teams traded goals throughout the game, but the final one, which allowed Salisbury to escape with the tie, came from junior Tom Lee who, with goalie Nick Sorgio pulled for the extra skater and 52 seconds on the clock, found the back of the net. #4 Salisbury outshot T-P 37-17. Senior Felix Marcotte-Hetu had 34 saves for T-P.

@ Albany Academy 5, Hoosac 2 -- PG Tyson Araujo had a hat trick and sophomore Josh Sanchez and senior Nick Boyagian each had two points to lead the Cadets attack. Junior Giancarlo Ventre kicked out 36 of 38 for the win.

Roxbury Latin 5 @ Middlesex 3 -- Roxbury Latin got goals from five different scorers and sophomore goalie Bryan McGrath (19/22) got the win.

St. George's 3 @ BB&N 2 -- Host BB&N had a 2-0 lead late in the second, but St. George's scored the next three. The GWG was scored by sophomore Toby Almeida. Dragons junior G Colin Seely (20/22) got the win.

@ Avon 5, NMH 3 -- Senior Chase Zieky had a hat trick and junior Jamie Armstong (1g, 2a) and soph Patrick Harper (3a) each had three points to lead the Winged Beavers to their third straight win.

Gunnery 9 @ Millbrook 4 -- Gunnery had three power play goals, a SHG from junior Cam Donaldson, and a penalty shot score from senior Jake Marrello to account for five of their goals today.

Max Prawdzik kicked out 20 of 23 in a losing cause. "Coming off the layoff, it wasn't a sharp or crisp game," Exeter coach  Dana Barbin said. "But it was a hard-fought game. Brooks is solid, tough, and smart with the puck. They battled hard."
