In what has been an up-and-down, rollercoaster season for the Masconomet Regional hockey team, this ranks as one of the highlights of the winter thus far.
In a physical contest, the Chieftains tied the game late in the second period, then netted the game-winner with five-and-a-half minutes to play to sweep their two-game season series from Newburyport with a 4-3 victory over the Clippers at the Graf Rink in Newburyport.
Assistant captain Cam Greeley tied the game at 3-3 in the middle stanza before captain A.J. Rothwell's sixth goal of the season, off a great play from Andrew DiVenuti, won it for Masconomet (7-5). Greeley and Andrew Roach both had a goal and an assist in the win while freshman Sean Haines added his first varsity goal, with his brother Tophy assisting.
"We rose to the occasion," said Masconomet coach Bill Blackwell, his team 5-5 in Cape Ann League play. "It was a physical game and our guys responded to that. When we fell behind 3-2 in the second period, we responded to that, too. It was definitely one of our best wins of the year so far."
Michael DiGiorgio had a terrific game in net, stopping 28 shots for the win.
