Martlets Fall to Hillside
Second Boys’ Hockey welcomed a talented and undefeated (10-0-3) Hillside team to Jackson Rink, losing a spirited battle 0-1 to drop its first game of the 2018-19 campaign. Will Scott '20 turned in a strong performance in net, turning aside 27 of 28 Hillside shots in the loss. For their part, the Martlets generated only 13 shots as they struggled to make plays and find teammates against the hardworking and talented Hillside squad. It didn't help that the Seconds took eight penalties against the Hillsiders' three. That's almost a full period of man-down hockey, always a challenge to overcome. The bottom line: you're not going to win too many hockey games unless you can stay out of the box and do a better job of getting the puck to the net. The Martlets had a few close chances to score the equalizer, particularly in the second period with the puck bouncing around in front of the Hillside net, but were unable to find the handle and finish the play; credit is due the Hillside keeper for posting the shutout. Special mention goes to the line of Will Rizzo '21, David Harris '21 and Newt Cutler '22, who again turned in several good shifts that led to solid scoring chances; they're destined to find the back of the net soon. The short-handed blueline unit also deserves recognition: Nate Stevens '21, Alex Tonioni '22, Wes Oltsch '20, Rex Flinn '21 and Owen Murphy '22 (called up from the farm system for his first Second team game) all played well in front of Scott. The Martlets don't have much time to lick their wounds: the team must regroup for an always-tough road game against Salisbury tomorrow afternoon.
