Thanks to two short-handed goals late in the game, The Duchesne Hockey Team sealed their first victory of the regular season and home opener game against Wentzville Timberland High School 6-3. Scoring started in the first period when Junior Carson Kuhn scored with 4:48 left in the first period off of an assist from Senior Logan Kelsey. Timberland tied the score 1-1 early in the second until Freshman Will Hollenkamp scored off of an assist from Junior Carson Kuhn to make the score 2-1. One minute and thirteen seconds later, Freshman Dylan Slattery scored off of a rebound shot by Junior Nick Morgan to make the score 3-1. Timberland bounced back and tied the score 3-3 early in the third period, but with 4:27 left in the game, Sophomore Liam Daleo scored a short handed goal off of a Nick Morgan pass to make the score 4-3. Just moments later, Nick Morgan scored another short handed goal to make the score 5-3. Morgan would add an empty netter with 13 seconds left in the game to make the final score 6-3. Sophomore Goalie Dillon Kuhn saw 43 shots during the game, saving 40 of them for a 93% save percentage. The Duchesne students made a great showing and the DHS Hockey Cheerleaders kept the team spirit high throughout the game. Next action for hockey is Friday night, Nov. 10 at 7:15pm at Wentzville Ice Arena versus Liberty High School and then Saturday night, Nov. 11 at 8:00pm at St. Peter's RecPlex versus Holt High School.
