Don Bosco Prep scored early and often to defeat the Eagles 9-5. Goaltender Eric Hayden, who has been one of the biggest surprises of the season, had very little help defensively with the Bosco offensive attack.
Bosco, which had 90 players tryout for their team in the fall, kept the pressure on the Eagles through out the game. Josh Koerner was the lone bright spot for the varsity , bringing the roster challenged Eagles back from a 5-0 deficit to a 6-4 game. Josh , using his outstanding speed, scored his 5th hat trick of the season. Yale Gropman and Richard Hudzik completed the Eagle scoring.
With Ithaca cancelling their game this Friday ( they could not afford the motel) the Eagles have completed their regular season with a 12-7 record.
Friday's game slot will be utilized yet senior night will have to be re-scheduled again. Ithaca becomes the third team that has cancelled with very little notice. A NY State mandate of playing 20 games ( down from 24), weather, and now the economy , has wreaked some havoc on the schedule.
The JV team will be playing this Saturday 8:15pm@ Icetime. This is the re-scheduled game vs Farrell.
The Eagles will now prepare for their must win playoff game vs O'Neill on Sunday the 28th.
