Glenbrook North vs St Viator Recap

Glenbrook North had an outstanding performance from their goaltender Carroll as he blanked St Viator on Saturday night 2-0. Glenbrook North was able to score off a great rebound that they put top shelf against Schmidt to take a 1-0 lead early in the second. As the second period winded down St Viator was able to earn a critical 5-3 as the period expired, but could not capitalize on fresh ice and Glenbrook North killed the 5-3 with only allowing a few shots. Both teams defenses were able to keep the other team out of sustaining time in the offensive zone but there were a lot of turnovers in the neutral zone. With a little over a minute left in the game St. Viator pulled their goalie for the extra attacker and won a face-off in the Glenbrook zone and fired a shot that was deflected around in front of the net. Glenbrook North was able to control the puck send a lead pass to Day who popped in an empty netter from almost center ice to seal the 2-0 victory for Glenbrook North.

Statistically both teams were pretty much even except for on the scoreboard where it counted. St. Viator played a very good game just came up short but definitely showed why they are one of the top teams in the Metro North. Their defense was quick and fought for a lot of pucks and were able to clear the zone just fell victim to a nice rebound right to Glenbrook North.

Glenbrook North continues their dominance in the goal crease. Only allowing 20 goals in division play and continue to dominate the second and third period on the scoreboard. Carroll got the nod but between him and Ramsay the Spartans have two solid goaltenders who can take over any game. Depending on the outcome of Stevenson's game Glenbrook North is now on top or in second by 1 point in the Metro North and look to gain the top spot.
