Hockey Roundup: Forrest, late goals bolster Crusader boys against Big Blue

A sparkling performance by goalie Craig Forrest, combined with a third-period scoring spree, helped lift the Bishop Fenwick boys hockey team to a 6-0 win over Swampscott Monday at McVann-O’Keefe Rink.The Big Blue came into the game riding a four-game winning streak, but the Crusaders weren’t deterred. The game was scoreless for just over a period and a half when third-line player Louie Williams was tripped on a breakaway. Williams was awarded a penalty shot, and he didn’t disappoint. His goal proved to be the game-winner, although the Crusaders added five more before the final buzzer sounded.Swampscott (7-4-3, 4-3-3 Northeastern Conference) kept Forrest busy all night, peppering him with 44 shots, but nothing found the back of the net. The Crusaders held the line defensively on five or six power-play chances by the Big Blue.The penalty shot seemed to jump-start the Fenwick offense, because less than a minute later, Pat Doliber (2 goals, 2 assists) scored. He netted his second of the night less than two minutes into the third period for a 3-0 lead. The Crusaders put the game out of reach on two goals by John Luti and one by Dale Crispin, who also had two assists.”This was a huge victory for us,” Fenwick coach Bob Tierney said. “We did a lot of little things right.
