Westfield Jr. Bombers 2, Ludlow Gold 1
Saturday, February 15, 2014 at Amelia Park Ice Arena, Westfield, MA
Division: Squirt 2
As the season starts to wind down, the Bombers are looking to finish strong. And they did so with a solid win this morning over Ludlow. The first period had both teams moving the puck well and kept the action moving from one end of the ice to the other. Westfield broke up the tie in the second period when Olivia Lawry set up behind Ludlow’s net and fed Andrew Eidinger, who then found the back of the net. The Bombers added their second goal when Gage Sperlonga gave it up to Drew Glenzel and then beat the Ludlow net minder. As the 3rd period ticked down, Ludlow was able to get on the board with a wicked wrister that beat Westfield goalie Sean Rowbotham. Up until that goal, Rowbotham had turned away numerous shots throughout the game and kept the Bombers in it. Westfield’s defense played solid, with Harrison Klein, Aiden Jubb, Kalya Russ and Elyse Eidinger all making great plays. But Jake Marcoulier was huge when he broke up a sure breakaway towards the end of the game. And Ryan Major came through big time blocking a Ludlow shot as time expired.
