Mount Mansfield 5, Stowe/PA 2

A three-goal second period from the school on the other side of Vermont’s highest peak made all the difference.

In a display of offensive parity, all seven goals in the game were registered by different players. No one had more than one assist, either.

Scoring for the Raiders were Derek Baxter, unassisted in the first period, and Bo Graves, assisted by Ashton Tibbits in the second.

Liam Newhouse stopped 35 shots for the Raiders.

“Mount Mansfield is deep and comes in waves. They all skate hard and pressure the puck. It was a difficult night where we had to execute quickly with pressure,” Raider coach Jon Grace said. “We had great pressure in the offensive zone and kept possession for opportunities. We had a few mental lapses where we got into the ‘skate it ‘til you lose it’ mentality that cost us.”

Stowe/PA 9, Northfield 0

Woody Reichelt scored three minutes into the game and the Raiders were off to the races, adding eight more goals to shut out Northfield at Kreitzberg Arena.

Reichelt had a goal in each period to earn his hat trick, and two of his goals were unassisted.

Two Raiders scored their first varsity goals in the rout, with Caden Ciaraldi finding the net in the first period and Tegan Darrow scoring in the third. Both players also had assists.

Also scoring for Stowe/PA were Derek Baxter with two goals and Bo Graves and Fletcher Newton with one apiece.

Adding assists were a pair of Nolans (Ian and Nathan) and Ashton Tibbits.

Goalie Liam Newhouse blocked all 20 shots that came his way.

“We were able to spread the scoring out a bit which was nice to see,” coach Grace said. “We need to continue working on our defensive zone coverage and systems play as we move into the last part of our season.”
