Eagles Drop A Heartbreaker To Saint Anselm

Box Score

Post took a commanding 2-0 lead after scoring twice in the second period. The rink was rocking and everything seemed to be going right for the Eagles 

However, play screeched to a halt and momentum flipped on a dime in the third period. Each team sent three players to the box and Saint Anselm took advantage of the 3 on 3 by scoring twice in 12 seconds after winning two important faceoffs. Anselm would score a total fo four goals in the third period. 

The Eagles missed on covering a penalty with a 2-1 lead in the third period. Momentum swung in the direction of Saint Anselm after their goalie's big save. Two quick goals by the Hawks came shortly after the missed penalty shot and it was as Anselm from there. 

Head Coach Pete Whitney on the game, "We played two good periods but against a perennial league champion you need to play a full 60 minutes and we did not do that tonight".

Things To Know

  • Anthony Giacomin scored his team-high fourth goal of the season
  • Evan Lugo picked up his fourth assist of the season, which ties the team lead
  • Tyler Hackett (12-7) and Kieran Hurley (9-5) both had great nights in the faceoff circle 
  • Joseph McLeod stopped seven shots each period and now has a 1-1 record following todays loss.
