| Stone Bridge ice hockey is seeking third straight NVSHL title (photo by Steven Holland from Stone Bridge vs. Broad Gallery) |
This is a dream match-up as it's a rematch of last year's finals -- won 7-3 by Stone Bridge for a second straight title and fifth all-time -- and a pairing of the league's two highest scoring teams with the two squads coming for a whopping 180 goals in just 23 contests. Heck, each team assaulted the nets for 11 goals in quarterfinal action Monday night.
And these two teams are rivals, part of the so-called "Battle of the Burn" any time one of the three Ashburn area high schools get together in athletics.
In last year's finals, Stone Bridge to the air out of the contest early with a 6-0 lead. It was a contentious championship with a total of 63 penalty minutes doles out.
Stone Bridge (11-0-0) advanced to the semifinals with a 11-1 win over Freedom in the quarterfinals Monday. Briar Woods (9-2-1) knocked off Chantilly, 11-2. The other semifinal match-up tonight is Woodbridge, 4-2 winner over Broad Run Monday, hosting Langley, 10-1 winner over McLean.
Stone Bridge has a trio of players with 30 or more points on the season in Trevor Mack, Cade Groton and Chris Berry. Briar Woods' Justin Plumhoff has 28 points.
The Bulldogs have the top two goalies in the league in goals allowed (with at least 100 minutes played) with Martin Trivieri and Colin McNelis both giving up just one per game. The Falcons Garrett Forrest gives up just 1.50 goals per game.
Against two high-powered offenses, something has to give tonight.
Admission is free but arrive early if you would like a seat.
