Stars Go 3-1 Over The Weekend
The Stars traveled this past weekend to Fitchburg, MA to participate in the Huskies Invitational Tournament looking to extend their 5 game winning streak. Their first game was against the hosts Huskies and it didn’t start off to well. The Stars fell behind 3-0 as the Huskies’ Jason Dicey (2) and Zach D’Errico built up the lead early into the second half. Then the game changed in a span of 12 minutes. Jeremy Marginsky’s goal at 5:59 of the second half was the beginning of the Stars comeback. The Stars then scored three consecutive goals from Josh Sova, Luke Kirwan, and Alex Brink to give them a 4-3 lead with 7 minutes remaining in the contest. With 5:23 remaining Dicey scored again giving him a hat trick as the Huskies tied the score and forced the game into overtime. A five minute scoreless overtime period didn’t produce a winner so the game was then decided in a shootout as the Stars tallied 3 goals over the Huskies two goals to win the game, 5-4 and extend the winning streak to 6.
In their second game of the tournament the Stars faced off against the Bay State Breakers. The Stars scored the first 4 goals of the game, Casie Garrison, Alex Tuch, Nick Mercurio, and Alex Fukes to give them a commanding 4-0 lead en route to a 6-2 victory. Scoring the other goals for the Stars were Tuch and Jesse Farabee.
The Stars then took on the Florida Eels in the third game of the weekend and cruised to an 8-0 win. Leading the way was Luke Kirwan with a hat trick and single tallies from Jeremy Marginsky, Stewart Brereton, Alex Tuch, Josh Sova, and Ryan Perry. Sharing the shutout were goaltenders Matt Schneider and Tyler Kraft. With the victory the Stars extended their current winning streak to 8 games.
In the final game of the weekend the Stars offense stalled as the Green Mountain Glades defeated the Stars 4-0; snapping the 8 game winning streak.
The Stars return home to the Cicero Twin Rinks this weekend to take on the Frederick Freeze. This will be the first meeting between the two teams.
