Tristan Tilghman scored twice as Riverfront defeated St Joe’s 5-3 and force a deciding game in the Olympic Double elimination tournament. Riverfront jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first period on goals by Dylan Farnan and Tilghman midway through the period. St Joe’s would get a goal from Paul Petrongolo in the final minute of the period to cut the deficit to 2-1. Tilghman’s second goal of the night in the first two minutes of the second period gave Riverfront a 3-1 lead. Jake Lukis would make it 4-1 at the eight minute mark before Trevor Rucci would score for St Joe’s and make it 4-2 after two.
Tristan Tilghman scored with less than five minutes left in the game as Riverfront rallied from a 3-0 first period deficit to defeat Cinnaminson 5-4 in Olympic playoff action played at Hollydell. With the loss the season ended for Cinnaminson. The Pirates looked in control in the first period as they scored early and often. Alex Richardson scored just twenty six seconds into the game for a 1-0 lead. Dylan Richardson would score a short-handed goal at the five minute mark and the lead was 2-0. Less than two minutes later James Lowry made it 3-0 and with standout goalie Steve San Martin the lead looked safe. But Riverfront did not finish 14-1-2 and not know adversity and they would launch 40 shots on goal and would need every one.
Each year, we are pleased with the league allowing us to recognize several players and a coach and their outstanding contributions they have made for their team. With at least two to three players considered for each category, we have finalized our decision. In the continuing tradition here at SJIcehockey we are pleased to announce the 2014-2015 award winners:
Sean Conard and Tristan Tilghman each scored twice and Riverfront used a four goal second period to defeat Middle Township in Olympic playoff action at the Skate Zone. After a scoreless first period Tilghman and Conard scored four minutes apart in the middle stanza to give Riverfront a 2-0 lead. Later in the period goals by Tilghman and Isaac Viereck doubled the lead to 4-0 with Viereck scoring in the final seven seconds.
Top seed Riverfront ran into a hot goalie last night as Steve San Martin stopped 34 shots and Dylan Richardson scored a short-handed goal with six minutes left in the game to give Cinnaminson a 3-2 win over Riverfront. Sean Conard scored the only goal of the first period as Riverfront led 1-0. Cinnaminson would score two goals in a three minute span to take a 2-1 lead on goals by James Lowry and Matty McLane. Riverfront would get the equalizer late in the period as Isaac Viereck connected with just over two minutes remaining.
Chris Cozzan from Washington Township had a hat trick and Sam Amon from EEW added two goals as Team Simmonds defeated Team Giroux 9-5 in the Junior-Senior Showcase game played before a packed house at the Skate Zone in Voorhees last night. Despite out-shooting Team Simmonds by 48-35, Team Giroux could not overcome the five goal first period. Before we were settled in our seats it was 3-0 in the first two minutes. Cozzan, playing on a line with teammate Brandon Balsama, who assisted on all three Cozzan goals, got things going on their first shift, Scott Veneziale, from Black Horse deflected a shot by Shawnee’s Alex Churchill and the lead was 2-0.
Jake Lukis scored his 15th goal of the season in the final minute of the third period as Riverfront rallied from a 2-0 deficit to tie EEW at 2-2. Sam Amon and Max Guralnick scored goals in the opening five minutes to give the EEW a 2-0 lead. Riverfront closed the gap to 2-1late in the period with Sean Conard scoring his 14th goal of the season. After a scoreless second period which saw EEW killing off 6 penalties, including being down two men for a full two minutes, goalie Nick Mattioli was strong in nets to keep the lead at 2-1.
