Giles Nets Five in 'Wick Win

Senior Brendan Giles netted five consecutive Brunswick goals to lead his team to a 6-3 win at Frederick Gunn School on Friday evening in Washington, Conn.
 
The game was deadlocked at one after the first — ’Wick’s goal rebounded home by junior Alex Melillo, the first of his varsity career (with the assist going to senior Connor Crosby) — before Giles went on his scoring spree with two in the second and three in the third to propel the Bruins to a solid road W. 
 
Giles, who now leads the NEPSAC with 38 tallies, showcased his dynamic offensive ability most on his second goal late in the second period — a phenomenal individual effort that left a Highlander d-man in the dust and was finished on the backhand to put Brunswick up 3-1 after 36 minutes. 
 
Gunn climbed to within one early in the third period before the Bruins ultimately sealed their 24th victory of the season with three more from Giles, the last an ENG in the final minute. 
 
Senior Will Baker was outstanding in between the pipes, making several point-blank saves and stopping a handful of breakaway chances.
