#11 TRUMBULL EAGLES vs #7 NOTRE DAME OF FAIRFIELD
It was a tough end to a great season as the Trumbull Eagles battled the Notre Dame Lancers in the D1 sem-final. In front of a packed Ingalls Rink, the Eagles played their brand of tough, smart hockey to near perfection.
After a slow start in the first period, the Eagles found themselves trailing 2-0. The team showed their trade mark tenacity by turning the tables on the Lancers with big hits and lots of offensive pressure in the second. With two goals from senior, Ryan Kisken the game was tied up. James Devore assisted on both goals and Dan Miressi added a second assist.
Anchored again by Charlie Ogalin's play in net, the Eagles showed that they could move the puck, skate and be just as physical as their D1 opponent. A power play goal in the third period from Dan Miressi (James Devore added his third assist of the game) put the home team on top 3-2. Notre Dame was forced to pull their goalie for the extra attacker and tied the game as the clocked ticked off the remaining minutes.
The fatigued Eagles ultimately fell in OT but it was an inspiring performance. The Trumbull skaters proved that they belonged among the elite programs and could compete with the state's very best. We are all very proud of the team's accomplishments.
