BOYS HOCKEY
St. Mary’s 2
Arlington Catholic 2
Sometimes, salvaging a tie is good enough – especially on the road. St. Mary’s boys hockey team tied Arlington Catholic, 2-2, Wednesday night.
After a Spartans-heavy first period in which they outshot Arlington Catholic 12-3, the frame ended scoreless. Finn Racki potted one in the second period, but St. Mary’s was looking up on the scoreboard, 2-1.
Oh, captain. Cam McGonagle tied the game for the Spartans with 6:08 to go in the third period. The game ended after neither side found the back of the net in overtime, but St. Mary’s did win the shots category, 33-24.
Catholic Memorial 2
St. John’s Prep 1
St. John’s Prep did a lot right in this one, but No. 6 Catholic Memorial tucked a goal in the final minute of overtime to upset the top-seeded Eagles (12-2) in Division 1 action.
The Prep – which nearly doubled Catholic Memorial in shots – received a goal from Caleb White off an assist from Cam Umlah. AJ Farese played well between the pipes for the host Eagles.
