EAGLE HOCKEY

Sunday, December 24, 2006

Tommy Farr and Chris Reinfried led a furious 4-3 Eagle comeback victory over Brewster ;scoring back to back goals one minute apart late in the third period.

After falling behind 2-0 in the first period, the varsity battled their way back into contention . Red hot Tommy Farr got the Eagles going with an assist from Chris Reinfried and ALex Pizzano got the Eagles even at 2-2 with assists from Ben Falkowski and Chris Reinfried.

The game remained tied heading into the third period.

Gut Check Time For The Varsity.

After dominating the period by out -shooting their opponents 13 to 4, the Eagles gave -up what looked like the winning goal with a shorthanded score from Brewster with 5 min to play. With their first big test of the season and time dwindling down, the Eagles responded with two goals in a span of two minutes and held off a 5 on 3 shorthanded dis-advantage to gain the win.

Although the referees did their best to ruin the game( calling 38 penalties), the Burke boys tested their metal by responding with a fine team effort.

Goaltender Mike Beck sealed up the net late in the game while the defense allowed Brewster only 14 shots on net.
