Varsity Hockey v. Cardigan

The Eaglebrook Varsity Hockey team took on Cardigan on Monday, January 31 in front of an energized crowd of friends and family.  The Eagles began the game dictating the tempo to their opponent with fast and physical play and were able to find the back of the net to take a 1-0 lead after the first period.  The second period started in a similar fashion however it was clear their opponent was capable of matching their intensity and took the lead scoring twice on a double minor penalty. That would be all for the Cougars as Eaglebrook’s Defense and Goaltender shut the door the rest of the way.  The Eagles managed to find the back of the net two more times in the second.  With a 3-2 lead heading into the third period the Eagles withstood an increased offensive effort from Cardigan and were able to capitalize on mistakes to score two more times and seal the 5-2 victory.  The Eagles look forward to the rematch in two weeks on 2/12.
