Springfield Cathedral 5,

St. Mary's 2

At Olympia West Arena, the Spartans (12-4-3) put up a good fight, outshooting Springfield Cathedral 21-19.

"They're one of the top teams in Division 1," St. Mary's coach Mark Lee said. "It was up and down ... we'd hit the post ... we ran into a goalie. This was a very good high school hockey game."

Springfield led 4-0 until late in the third period (2:24 remaining) when Julian Yourawski scored with assists to Brendan Mageary and James Perkins). Perkins scored less than two minutes later from Andrew Markham and Derek Stella, but Springfield iced the win with an empty-netter with five seconds remaining.

"We gave an awful good effort tonight. We just couldn't find the back of the net," Lee said.
