Varsity Hockey v. Avon Old Farms

On Wednesday, Eaglebrook earned a thrilling 3-2 win over Avon Old Farms. Eaglebrook came out stronger than any other game this year, netting the first two goals of the game early in the first period. Nate Summers scored an unassisted goal followed by a beautiful Zeke Emerson goal off a feed from Chuck Goldstein. The lead was held into the second when defensive lapses allowed Avon some latitude to pull the game closer, which they did by netting two goals going into the second. It all came down to the third period when goaltender Jack Parsons raised his game and kept the Eaglebrook net empty. The final moments ticked away before Zeke Emerson tallied his second point of the game when he and line mate Brendan O’Connell combined for some good puck movement down low. Emerson swooped out front to challenge the net creating confusion and O’Connell, ever the opportunist, knocked in the rebound. Eaglebrook found itself shorthanded to finish the game, but Summers, Joe Redfearn, Ryan Gagne, and Brenden Russ combined to kill off the six-on-four Avon advantage. Parsons stood tall in net, making some huge saves down the stretch. It was a well-earned victory and a great morale boost for Eaglebrook. Eaglebrook next travels to Berkshire on Friday.
