Huskies Win Playoff 3-0, Move On and Place 2nd in the Championship Game

After coming off a 6-5 come from behind victory Saturday night, the Huskies had to face the same team Sunday morning. In a must win single elimination, the Huskies shook off the night before and beat the Skyland Kings 3-0 to move on to the Championship game.

Alec #6 scored quickly for the Huskies in the first period. He intercepted a pass from the Kings as it just came into the neutral zone. Alec #6 took the puck in and skated across the crease, tucking the puck between toe and pipe to beat the goalie. One goal was all they would need. Lizzy #39 and the defense rebounded from the night before to post a shut-out. AJ #62 scored on a pass from #32 Thomas, providing the Huskies with some insurance. Matt #11 scored the third goal with assists coming from #32 Thomas and #12 Jimmy. Three different players scored and three different players added assists to round off a 4 game winning streak.

The Huskies played the Mercer Chiefs in the Championship game. The Mercer Chiefs, with speed and strong passing, beat the Huskies 3-1. The Huskies amassed more penalty minutes in that game then the previous 4 games combined. The Huskies didn't look for excuses, they fought hard until the last seconded fell.

Great job to Lizzy #39 who won player of the game. Just one of the highlights had to be her stopping the penalty shot.

Congratulations to all the Huskies for taking 2nd Place in the Aston tournament. It was a great tournament that help bring a brand new team together. We had 10 different goal scores and over 10 players with assists. Enjoy it and see what you can learn this year!
