Despite being down 4-0 in the third period against Francis Howell Central last Friday Night, The Duchesne Hockey team battled back with three goals late in the game, but fell short with a 5-3 loss.  The first goal came from Nick Morgan off of an assist from Carson Kuhn.  Three minutes later, Nick returned the favor to Carson with a pass to the left side that Kuhn buried to make the score 4-2.  Despite a FH goal with 37 seconds left in the game, Nick Morgan again scored just six seconds later to make the score 5-3.  However, time was the enemy as 5-3 was the final score.

Tonight, Dec. 5, Duchesne looks to rebound in a game against Timberland High School who Duchesne defeated earlier in the season 6-3.  That game saw six goals from five different Duchesne players, including the first goals ever for Freshmen Dylan Slattery and Will Hollenkamp.  Goals were also scored by Nick Morgan (2), Carson Kuhn, and Liam Daleo.  That game also saw Sophomore Goalie Dillon Kuhn stop 40 shots on 43 attempts for a 93% save percentage.  He will return to the net for tonight's game in the rematch.

After a busy November, the hockey team gets a slightly lighter load in December with just four more games after tonight's game and then will wrap up their season in January with five games - the final game of the regular season coming on Jan. 23.  Tournament play begins after that weekend.

The student turnout for the games has been fantastic and the Duchesne Hockey Cheerleaders have been at each and every game leading the parents and students in cheers throughout the game.  We look to see more of that for tonight's matchup against Timberland.  Game time is 8:30pm at Wentzville Ice Arena.  Go Pioneer Hockey!!!
