The Bishop Fenwick girls hockey team has found its groove. Fenwick earned its third consecutive victory with a 3-0 win at Auburn Saturday afternoon at Horgan Skating Arena.
Senior defenseman Jill Mattucci and senior forward Lexi McNeil paced the offense with one goal and one assist apiece. Senior forward Brennah Satterfield scored one goal and sophomore forward Gabby Davern dished two assists.
Junior goalie Daphne Jalbert earned her first shutout win with 16 saves.
“Daphne has been outstanding the past three games,” Fenwick coach Doug Anderson said. “She only had 16 saves tonight, which was a credit to the forwards and the defense. We’re really excited for her. She’s been solid for us.”
Also playing well were sophomore defenseman Allison Countie and freshmen defensemen Grace Morey, Catherine Salvo and Lauren Diranian.
“We’ve played them six years now and it’s the first time we’ve beaten them at their place,” Anderson said. “We beat them last year to make the tournament, by one goal. We kept a little momentum going with wins over Wilmington, at Medford and at Auburn.”
The Crusaders are back on the ice Wednesday when they take on St. Peter Marian in the first round of the St. Joseph Prep Christmas Classic at Warrior Ice Arena.

“This was a very talented team we played against,” Spartans coach Mark Lee said. “It was our best game of the season. It was three full periods of St. Mary’s hockey. We limited them in scoring opportunities. The score sounds like it was an easy blowout, it wasn’t. Finally we’re executing the way we should for three periods.”
St. Mary’s takes on Austin Prep Thursday (5) in the Christie Serino Christmas Classic at Malden’s Valley Forum.
“The Serino Tournament’s always one of the best in the state as far as competition, dealing with four great teams,” Lee said. “We were the first team last year to win it other than Malden Catholic. We need to defend our crown against some of the top opponents in the state. We just have to play St. Mary’s hockey.”
