Friars Hockey Can't Get Past Wood

Senior goalie Steve Gallo made 27 saves on 30 shots, but it wasn't enough. Archbishop Wood put three in the back of the net to give the Vikings a 3-0 victory over Monsignor Bonner. Frank Leonardo started the scoring off a Chris Rotz assist, giving Wood a 1-0 lead with two minutes left in the first. With two seconds left in the period, the black and gold struck back again, this time by Christian Gregory. In the second period, Wood scored their third and final goal by Ryan Donohue on the power play to give the Vikings a 3-0 lead. That was all they would need, as Frank Grimes made 27 saves on 27 shots. Bonner just could not get anything going on the night. The Friars fall to 4-4-1 overall, and drop to 4-1-0 in the division. Their next game will be a rematch from opening night, when Bonner takes on Arcbishop Carroll. The Friars took the first match-up 5-4, and look to sweep the season series between the two teams. Game time is set for 9:15 on Monday, December 14th, at the Skatium in Havertown.
