Varsity hockey vs. Deerfield Academy

On Wednesday the Eagles played host to Deerfield Academy.  The game lived up to the billing as both teams played high-level hockey for 45 minutes.  The Eagles played with great energy but could not quite match the heavy play of their opponent.  The game would be locked in a 0-0 tie all the way into the final 3 minutes of the game when a scrum in front of Eaglebrook's net produced a bouncing puck that landed on the stick of a Deerfield player who put it behind the Eagles keeper.  With the goalie pulled the Eagles could not manage a grade-A opportunity and unfortunately two long clears from Deerfield resulted in empty net goals.  It was one of the best matchups of the season and the Eagles look forward to going to Deerfield later this season to even the series.
