Hunting Valley University School Outlasts Dublin Coffman, 3-2 In Double Overtime COLUMBUS, Ohio � A goal by Hunting Valley University School senior captain Robert Engoglia assisted by junior Tommy Nook 54 seconds into the second overtime period sealed a 3-2 win against Dublin Coffman at the 2016 OHSAA ice hockey state semifinals at Nationwide Arena on Thursday.
With the victory, University School (26-11-2) advances to its first ice hockey state championship since 2009 when the Preppers captured their second state title.
Dublin Coffman (28-9-3) was making its second appearance at the state ice hockey tournament. Dublin Coffman senior goalie Grant Powell finished with 38 saves to lead the Shamrocks. University School outshot Dublin Coffman 41-26, holding a 22-9 advantage in shots in the third period and both overtime periods.
Dublin Coffman struck first, as junior Luke Babner found the back of the net with assists by senior Cameron Fiorita and senior Michael Aman, taking a 1-0 lead at the 3:33 mark of the first period. With 47 seconds remaining in the first period, University School junior Alex Hoyen scored after a shot by senior Zach Goetsch was deflected to him, tying the game 1-1 at the end of one.
University School carried its momentum into the second period as junior JD Clemens scored a goal assisted by senior Ryan Gorbett and senior Goetsch 34 seconds into the period, giving the Preppers a 2-1 lead early in the period.
Later in the second period, Dublin Coffman used a power-play goal by senior Kyle Talebi assisted by senior Ryon Malas with 4:54 until the break to tie the game 2-2.
After a scoreless third period and first overtime, University School broke the stalemate 54 seconds into double overtime as Engoglia scored after a pass from Nook, giving the Preppers the 3-2 victory in dramatic fashion.
The game marked the first overtime game in an OHSAA ice hockey state tournament since the 2014 OHSAA ice hockey state championship, which ended in a 1-1 tie between Cleveland St. Ignatius and Sylvania Northview after seven overtimes. That game prompted new overtime rules, including going to four-on-four play beginning in the second overtime.
University School will face the winner of Toledo St. Francis de Sales (36-1-0) and Cleveland St. Ignatius (36-2-1) Saturday at 2 p.m. in the 2016 OHSAA ice hockey state championship.
Toledo St. Francis deSales (36-1-0) vs. Cleveland St. Ignatius (36-2-1) [ Box Score ]
Strong Start Powers Cleveland St. Ignatius Past Toledo St. Francis deSales, 5-1 COLUMBUS, Ohio � Three first period goals were enough for Cleveland St. Ignatius to set the tone and upset top-ranked Toledo St. Francis deSales 5-1 in a 2016 OHSAA ice hockey state semifinal game at Nationwide Arena on Thursday.
St Ignatius (37-2-1) recorded one of its two loses in the regular season to St. Francis deSales 5-1, but the Wildcats used strong goalkeeping and defensive play and five goals on 32 shots to return the favor and defeat the Knights and advance to its fourth state final.
St. Ignatius is back in the state championship for the second time in three years, the first time since 2014 when it earned co-state champion honors after a 1-1 tie after seven overtimes with Sylvania Northview.
Leading the way for St. Ignatius was junior Seth Whitney, finishing with two goals on five shots. Senior Zachary Kisel, senior Aidan Spellacy and junior Cullen Frebes each finished with one goal. Senior goalkeeper Dylan McKeon recorded 33 saves and allowed only one goal.
Despite outshooting St. Ignatius 34-32, St. Francis deSales (36-2-0) could not convert its opportunities and dropped its first game since losing to Bowling Green 3-2 on December 28 and its second game all season.
In the first period, Spellacy started the scoring for St. Ignatius with an unassisted goal at the 8:01 mark of the first period to take a 1-0 lead, then 31 seconds later, Whitney scored on a goal assisted by senior Jared Stepka to increase the lead to 2-0.
The third goal of the period for St. Ignatius was scored by Kisel with an assist from Spellacy at the 1:20 mark, giving St. Ignatius a 3-0 lead at the end of the first period. St. Ignatius started the second period where it left off. Whitney scored his second goal of the game, unassisted with 11:57 left in the period, increasing the St. Ignatius advantage to 4-0. A third period goal by Frebes assisted by sophomore Bain Kurtz and junior Matthew Wiegandt at the 12:07 mark gave St. Ignatius its largest lead of the game, 5-0.
St. Francis deSales would avoid the shutout on a power play goal by junior Warren Natyshak assisted by senior Brendan Furry and senior Matt Vild at the 6:54 mark of the third period to bring the score to 5-1, but it would not be enough for the Knights, as St. Ignatius went on to win 5-1.
St. Ignatius will face Hunting Valley University School (26-11-2) in the 2016 OHSAA ice hockey state championship game on Saturday at 2 p.m. at Nationwide Arena.
