POTSDAM, NY--- The National Sports Academy girls hockey team faced Ontario Hockey Academy on Saturday afternoon. The puck dropped at 11AM at Clarkson University’s Cheel Arena, which is located directly on campus. This game was National Sports Academy’s first game coming off a two week Christmas Break which made for a rusty game to start the new year.
The shots were fairly even throughout the game, with OHA outshooting NSA 31 to 28. In net for NSA was Sarah Quigley, who was able to block 23 of the 28 shots leaving OHA with 5 goals in the game. OHA’s goaltender was able to defend 30 of the 31 shots allowing NSA with only one goal. NSA’s goal was scored by Brittany Moorehead with an assist from Kali Flannagan.
Despite their slow return from the long break, NSA hopes to pick up their game as they have a JWHL league weekend January 14th-16th. They travel to the University of Connecticut on Friday to play their first game of the weekend. The Mountaineers will face the Boston Shamrocks at 9PM.
