The Moon Area Tigers won their second game of the season, 3-1, against the Kennedy Catholic Eagles Monday night.
In the first period, junior forward Zach Wildasin gave the Tigers a 1-0 lead with his first goal of the season. The scoring magic happened in the second period, when Riley Hilton netted a goal past Tigers goaltender Lukas Konecsni, to tie the score at one a piece. Then at the sound of the buzzer to mark the end of the second period, Tigers sophomore forward David Pawuk banged one past Eagle goaltender Carsen Burkhart. The power play goal gave Moon a 2-1 lead. Halfway through the third period, Konecsni made a perfect glove save on a breakaway, preserving the lead. With only a few seconds remaining in the period, Wildasin scored again with an empty-netter to make it 3-1. Coach Joe Sell was pleased with how his team played despite battling a few injuries and calling up junior varsity players. “We’re kind of shorthanded,” Sell said. “We have one kid who is out with a concussion; one kid out with a broken wrist; and one out with a bad shoulder. “We are happy with the effort. They battled through and we were able to grab the win.” Konecsni made a lot of great saves Monday night, and Sell noticed. “Lukas is our MVP,” Sell said. “The kid faces a lot of shots and lots of high scoring opportunities and he’s always there. He’s level headed, doesn’t get up and doesn’t get down and that’s definitely something you want from your goaltender.” The Tigers travel to Morgantown High School for their next game, on Nov. 2. The puck drops at 7:00 p.m.
