fourth place later in the afternoon.

Place Bracket
New Trier began their quest for
seventh place by outlasting Mundelein 15-14 in a shootout. The Trevians
trailed by a goal in the last minute of regulation, but Konrad VonMoltke
earned a perimeter steal and assisted Jordan Palmer on a breakaway goal to
send the game into overtime. Gavin Taves allowed just two goals in the
shootout to give NT their first win of the event. Later, the Trevians beat
Stevenson 14-9, as VonMoltke poured in 6 goals and Palmer scored 3 times
in the win.
Mundelein downed Stevenson 13-9
for eighth place at the event.

over Oak Park and Palatine to finish in fourth place with a 3-1 record.

scored 7 times at the tournament for LT.

scored 3 goals and Matt Farmer notched 2 scores in the win. Mike Mulcrone
put in 3 scores and Matt Becker scored 2 times in the loss for the
Crusaders.
In the battle for first place,
Fenwick edged Naperville Central on Matt Farmer's goal with 1:20 remaining
in the fourth period. The Redhawks nearly scored in the final minute, but
Pat May's lob attempt fell short of the left corner and Fenwick goalie Dan
Newell cleared the loose ball to secure the Friars' twenty-seventh win of the
season.
Earlier in the fourth quarter,
Farmer gave Fenwick a 6-5 lead after turning his defender at two meters
and sweeping a shot just under the crossbar with 4:34 remaining. NC's
Kristian Altuve responded immediately on the other end, scoring at the
4:13 mark to even the score at 6-6. From there, both defenses put the
clamps down, with Newell and Stablein each making a key play to keep the
game tied. Farmer's heroics came from just outside five meters, as he drew
a foul and released a quick shot to beat Stablein to the near post to give
Fenwick the win.
In the final game of the event,
Naperville Central and Brother Rice squared off for second place honors,
with the Redhawks earning a 15-13 win over the Crusaders. Rice cut the
lead to 13-12 midway through the period, but Kyle Rickert scored a rebound
goal after an NC counterattack to give the Redhawks a late two-goal
cushion. Dave Jackson trimmed the lead to 14-13 with a goal in the final
minute, but Central was able to run most of the remaining time off the
game clock, before Jay Howenstine scored in the closing seconds to seal
the Redhawks 15-13 victory.
