Williston vs St. Paul’s 
An exciting and competitive match up. The first period ended scoreless with Williston’s strong d-zone not allowing the offensive talent of St. Paul’s to get many shots off. The game was pretty back and forth and scoring opened up in the second period when #11 Jules Constantinople scored. She was a high energy effective team player throughout the entire game. St. Paul’s responded with a goal from hardworking #20 Tiffany Hill. In the third, St. Paul’s was a bit on their heels and let in two goals while killing penalties. Williston goals by #3 Ava DeCoste and #9 Sydney Wegner. #29 was sharp in net for St. Paul’s making countless saves through screens and one incredible snag where a Williston player was left all alone to attempt to deke her out. St. Paul’s pulled their goalie to attempt to come back but Williston did not take their foot off the gas the entire game. They gave St. Paul’s very little space and time to set up, denying any more goals against. Freshman #12 Emily Crovo was a standout for Williston with her hockey sense at a young age. #2 Natalie Tulchinsky on St. Paul’s showed up with the same effort and grit that she always gives. One of the hardest working players Neutral Zone has ever scouted, and she keeps getting better and better. Final score 3-1 Williston.

In the third period, Nobles caught their stride and scored 3 back-to-back goals, 2 by #19 Ellie Bayard and one by #15 Sophia Ensley. St. Marks wasn’t ready to give up on the game they fought so hard to stay in. They came back with a goal from #17 Lauren Tolve.
