The Duchesne Hockey Team lost a hard fought, close game to Liberty High School Wednesday Night at Wentzville Ice Arena. In the first period, Liberty twice took a one goal lead only to be answered by goals from Nick Morgan and Peyton Evans. That 2-2 tie continued all of the way through the second period with neither team scoring. In the third period, Liberty took a two goal lead until Senior Logan Kelsey scored with 1:47 to play. The finish was very exciting as Duchesne took several shots in the final ten seconds to try and tie it up, but ended up one goal short when the buzzer sounded. Down three key players, the Duchesne Freshmen stepped up and played a solid game to help keep them in it until the end. Sophomore Goalie Dillon Kuhn also made several key saves throughout the entire game to keep the score close all game. Where Duchesne Hockey could use some support is from their student classmates. Liberty students out-attended Duchesne roughly 60-2 in this game (Thank you Hannah Rimmey and Katie Hill). We encourage all of our students to come and watch the excitement and speed of Duchesne Hockey. Next game will be on Thursday, Oct. 12 - time and opponent to be announced in the coming days.
