Ice Hockey Cruises To Win Over Latrobe
By: Jared Barton
The North Allegheny ice hockey team hosted Greater Latrobe Thursday night at the Baierl Ice Complex. NA bounced back from an OT loss last Thursday and beat the Wildcats 5-1.
NA opened the scoring late in the first period. Sophomore Cole Maier netted the opening marker off an assist from junior Bryce McCormick.
Chase Hiben registered back-to-back goals in the second frame, the first coming 15 seconds into the period off assists from senior Anthony Lucas and junior Sam Speedy. The second came nearly 11 minutes later, assisted by seniors Cedric Otey and Nicholas Pasquale. McCormick made the score 4-0 late in the stanza with a goal of his own.
Greater Latrobe scored in the opening minute of the final period on a goal from Joey Crimboli. Otey added a marker on the power play about 10 minutes later, assisted by Lucas and Hiben.
Junior Chris Costa made 29 saves in net for the win.
North Allegheny hits the road next Thursday to face South Fayette from the Mt. Lebanon Ice Center. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:10 p.m.
