In a fast-paced and fun game, Deerfield Varsity Hockey dropped a heartbreaking 3-2 OT loss to a talented Williston squad. Williston scored early in the first period, but we responded quickly when Kelly Howe ‘22 buried a Grace Dumond ‘22 rebound to tie the game. Williston took the lead again in the second period, but good forechecking from Mia Goetzke ‘24 and Sara Robert ‘22 set up Emma Gurnell ‘22 for the tying goal. In the third period, back-to-back penalties put us on our heels, but a heroic penalty kill, especially from Annie Dinges ‘24 and CC Deslauriers ‘23, kept the game tied. We then began to buzz, and Jackson Kinsler ‘22 and Lauryn Broecker ‘23 both had near misses down the stretch and early in overtime. Unfortunately for the Big Green, Williston got the winning goal off of a wrap-around, leaving us on the wrong side of a hard-fought game. Grace Caligiuri ‘22 was outstanding in goal, Bailey Miller ‘24 was an absolute force to be reckoned with, and Sam Olander earned the hard hat. Many thanks to the Gurnells for the sandwiches and drinks after the game!
