Danbury Jr. Hat Tricks News Release
Danbury, CT - The Hat Tricks took a rough loss to start their final series of November. Joey Mallozzi grabbed the only tally of the contest late in the second period. It was all topped off by a 28-save performance from goaltender Benji Motew.
It was a tight contest through the first twenty minutes of play, with a combined total of 18 shots on net. It also got very physical between the two squads following a goal from Maryland forward Tanner Duncan 14:12 into the opening frame. Thomas Holtby and Ameen Ghosheh would exchange a few hits, with Ghosheh getting ejected from the game, with 2:23 remaining in the first period. Josh Frenette would also get sent to the box, creating a 4-on-3 power-play for Danbury which would end with Maryland getting a three-minute, unlimited power-play that would carry over into the second period.
Maryland would erupt in the second frame, putting up a three-goal effort through twenty minutes. The chaos began as Black Bears forward Trey Hinton scored 15 seconds into the second period, grabbing their only power-play goal of the night. The Black Bears would double up their score, 10:27 after the goal from Hinton. Forward Isac Nielsen and Luke Janus would score 29 seconds apart to take a commanding 4-0 lead. Hat Tricks forward Joey Mallozzi would end the period grabbing a power-play goal with 1:23 left in the second period. Both teams would go scoreless to end the contest, as Maryland handed Danbury their third loss of the season series.
