Fenwick 12 Oak Park
11 (Shootout: Fenwick
5 Oak Park 4)
Dan Francisco made a save in the sixth round of a
shootout to give Fenwick a 12-11 win over Oak Park after the two teams
finished regulation tied at 7-7. Both Francisco and Oak Park goalie David
Anderson made stops in the first attempt to score for both teams, but it
was Francisco's save on Troy Williams' effort that gave the Friars their
second straight win over the Huskies in Round 3 of the battle between the
two teams.
In regulation, the teams started out evenly matched,
ending the first period tied at 2-2. The Friars, however, went on a 3-0 run
in the second period, getting goals from Connor Brown, DJ Gallo, and Will Rigali, to lead at
halftime 5-2. Armando Lee and John Osborne traded
goals early in the second half, but Fenwick still held a three-goal lead
until late in the quarter. That's when Oak Park tightened the game up, as
Anderson made a steal and assisted Troy Williams on a breakaway goal, then
Dylan O'Connell scored from the left side with one second left in the
period to cut the Fenwick lead to 6-5.
In the final quarter, the Huskies wasted no time
getting things
evened up, as Lee fought for position and scored from two-meters
out to tie the game at 6-6. Dylan O'Connell then gave the Huskies their
first lead since the opening quarter, as he made a steal on the perimeter
and went the length of the pool to slide a shot under the arm of Francisco
to give Oak Park a 7-6 advantage with 3:22 left to play. Fenwick came right back to tie the game,
as Rigali drew a penalty and converted the ensuing shot with 3:07 remaining.
Neither team could score in the closing minutes, so the game went to an
immediate shootout.
Including the goals scored in the shootout, Osborne led
the Friars with 3 scores and Brown, Farmer, Gallo, and Rigali all scored
2 goals in the victory. Lee led the Huskies with 4 scores and Dylan
O'Connell added 3 goals in the narrow loss for the Huskies.
