Two goals by Eagle sharpshooter Jason Healey were not enough to clinch a victory over fierce rivals Monroe Wooodbury on Saturday , as the Knights answered with two goals in the final period to get the contest even at 2-2. The five minute overtime period proved to be as exciting as the first 45 minutes with end to end rushes by both teams ending in futility.
Senior Goaltender Dane Wakefield was up to the challenge, turning away 30 of the 32 shots while the Eagles tested the Monroe goaltender with 29 shots on net.
With Chuck Gabriele filling in very nicely at the center position, the defensive four of Tommy Mahoney, Danny Kelley, Andrew Keating, Dillon Dolanski, worked very hard on defense.
With the tie, the Eagles improve to 13-4-2 . They continue to sit on top of the Section 9 standings entering the final days of the season. With three league games remaining, including Monroe, the varsity will have to play their best hockey of the season to repeat as section champions.
