MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury Union High School boys’ hockey team on Dec. 30 dropped the finale of its own holiday tournament, 3-2, to Northeast Clinton Central, N.Y.
Second-period goals by Tyler Crowningshield, from Colton Leno, and Marty Niemo, (his first career goal) from Nathan Lalonde, gave the Tigers a 2-1 lead.
But NCCS scored twice in the third period for the win despite 15 saves from Tiger goalie Sawyer Ryan.
The 1-3-2 Tigers had been set to travel to Lyndon on Saturday night. Details of that game or whether it was played — the girls’ hockey team’s game vs. North Country at the same time was postponed — could not be confirmed before deadline.
