Varsity hockey vs. Cardigan Mountain School

The Eagles took their home ice Saturday against the team from New Hampshire. The game was played at a fast pace with both teams feeling each other out in the first period. The Eagles were unable to convert on a few chances but their defensive zone play was strong enough to have the period end 0-0. Midway through the second period an opposing forward would get around an Eagles defender and score the first goal of the game.  Despite this setback, the Eagles continued to play a strong team game. Unfortunately, the bounces would not go the Eagles' way for the next 8 minutes of hockey as they found themselves down 4-0 after four consecutive man advantages for their rivals. Coming out for the third period the Eagles were able to play 5 on 5 hockey and again battled well but were unable to find the back of the net. The game would end 5-0 but the Eagles knew they played better than the score showed. The Eagles look to get healthy and back to their winning ways next week.
