'Wick Hockey Completes Weekend Sweep of Hill

Brunswick began a 10-game homestand with a convincing 4-2 win against a physical and pesky squad from The Hill School this afternoon at Hartong Rink. 

The Bruins picked up right where they left off on Friday in Pottstown, Pa., and showed no signs of fatigue despite getting home just after midnight last night -- jumping out to an early lead on a slick breakaway tally to the backhand by junior co-captain and Dartmouth commit Hank Cleaves.

Junior and Yale commit Eli Friedman extended the lead to two right before intermission on a high-tip play on the PP. Assists went to junior d-man Sloan Farmer and sophomore Brendan Giles.

'Wick dominated the opening minutes of the second and forced the visitors to call timeout. The move worked, as the Blues scored on the following shift to get back in the game. 

But as they did 24 hours ago, the Bruins stayed the course and kept pushing, getting the two-goal advantage back three minutes later on a snipe right under the crossbar by sophomore Drew DellaSalla -- 3-1 after two.

In the third, the Brown and White got some breathing room on another PP deflection -- this time from junior co-captain James Shannon. 

Hill finished up the scoring with one second remaining. 

Junior goaltender Brendan Holahan was outstanding -- as were the defensive corps of Farmer, John Burdett, Niko Cadoret, Collin Eschricht, Lucas St. Louis and Maxime Sauve all weekend long. 

It's been a heckuva start to the season, as the Bruins stand at 9-3-1 and are right in the Elite-8 mix while having played only two home games.

Exam break for a few days and then Delbarton comes to town on Friday night at 5 p.m.
