JV HOCKEY
Fenn JV split a pair of games this week. On February 15 at Pike School in Andover, Fenn fell behind 4-0 before defenseman Mikey Bean connected in the final stanza. Despite the loss, coach Jason Rude reports that Fenn played solid two-way hockey and was buoyed by good goaltending by Byron Woodman and Finley Stevens.
On February 16, Fenn outscored Park School, 6-4, at Valley Sports, powered by a Ben Cook hattrick. Fenn connected twice in the opening period and the two teams exchanged second-period goals. Leading 4-2 in the third, Fenn's top line of Luke Swaim, Kevin Bertocci and Ben Cook applied steady pressure and it paid off in the form of another Fenn tally. Park responded with a pair of goals, but Mikey Bean gathered a loose puck in the defensive zone and launched a rink-long shot into the empty net to seal the 6-4 victory.
Fenn's JV record is 2-4.
