Blue Wave Girls Hockey Dominate on Senior Night

by Colleen Heaney

On Monday, February 10th, the Blue Wave Girls Hockey Team defeated Wilton/Norwalk 7-0. It was Senior Night for the Blue Wave, and senior Captains Shannon Hall, Sage Thacher, and Ellie Bennett led the team to their fifteenth win this season.

This is the team’s third consecutive shutout game with a win by 6 or more goals. Each of the 7 goals was scored by different players, proving that this team has depth throughout the entire squad. Freshman Logan Book, junior Amanda Sload, junior Lauren Cicero, senior Ellie Bennett, junior Christy Conley, junior Julia Arrix, and junior Allegra Molkenthin each had a goal (in that order). Darien also made 4 saves in goal.

Senior captain Shannon Hall has been impressive all year long in goal. This is her eleventh shutout this season. Her excellence in goal is fueled by a well-connected defense and fierce offense. “It really was a team effort. The entire team worked together to get them out of our defensive zone. It was an extremely offensive game and it showed in the final score,” Hall said of the game.

Come support the Blue Wave today versus Simsbury at 5:10 pm at the International Skating Center.
