Duchesne Hockey ended their weekend 2-0 after a decisive 7-3 victory over Holt High School on Saturday Night, Nov. 11. Despite the final score, this one was close until late in the third period. Duchesne got on the board first when Freshman Austin Schoene scored his first goal of the season off of an assist from Freshman Alex Messner. A few minutes later, Holt tied the score 1-1 on a shorthanded goal. However, Freshman Max Hackmann scored to make it 2-1 later in the first period off of a Junior Lucas Daleo assist. In the second period, Holt again tied the score 2-2 before Junior Nick Morgan scored with 1:53 left in the second period to make the score 3-2. Four minutes into the third period, Nick Morgan scored again to make the score 4-2, but late in the third period, Holt scored again to get within a goal. However, the final 2:28 of the game saw three different goals from three different Duchesne players to take away the win. Nick Morgan scored first off of a Ryan Adkerson assist for a hat trick on the night. Then, Junior Carson Kuhn scored an empty netter from mid-ice off of an assist from Auggie Lee to seal the victory. However, Junior Lucas Daleo sailed down the ice with the puck off of a Freshman Dylan Slattery assist and with one second left in the game, scored the 7th goal to make the final score 7-3. Senior goalie Asher Olsen saw 28 shots and made 25 saves for an 89% save percentage. Once again, the Duchesne Hockey Cheerleaders and the Duchesne students made this game fun and exciting. The students lined up along the RecPlex glass all night and celebrated every Duchesne goal and hung around to celebrate after the game as well. The win gives Duchesne a 3-1 record on the young season with a big test coming this Friday, Nov. 17, against the reigning Wickenheiser Cup State Champions, Ft. Zumwalt West at Wentzville Ice Arena at 9:00pm. FZW typically brings a large student contingent, so we need all of our students to show up for this contest. We appreciate your growing support this season!!
