Wachusett JV Hockey (5-3-0) loses close game to St. John’s
1/17/2025: After a scoreless first period, St John’s found the first goal of the game early in the second period. The Wachusett team battled hard trying to find the equalizer behind great play from Owen Browne (So.) and Vaughn Lane (Fr.). Strong defensive play from players Abraham Smith (Fr.) and Cole McCarthy (So.), as well as great goaltending from Brandon Boulmetis (Fr.), afforded the team the opportunities in the offensive zone. Finding themselves down 0-2 late in the third, a last ditch effort of pulling the goalie led to several shot attempts, but Wachusett could not find the back of the net, for a final of 0-3. The team will look to rebound in their next exhibition at Groton.
