While bitterly cold outside, King Philip Girls and Mansfer/Oliver-Ames/Foxboro girls hockey teams brought the heat in a rare Sunday matinee league showdown. MOA opened the scoring with Mackenzie Fraser putting home the shot from the high slot on a great passing assist from Isabelle Shanteler and Catherine Luciano. Then with twenty six seconds left in the period, KP's Nicole Connor took the puck coast to coast and tucked it in the back of net on a classic wrap around.
Both teams remained scoreless in the second period behind the terrific netminding by both goalies Lilly Potts for KP and Kerran Holmes for MOA.
Behind the strong efforts from Potts and solid defensive play of Jessica Daniels and Katie Crowther, KP was able to hold off MOA during two third period power plays. Short handed, KP's Avari Maxwell scored the the eventual game winning goal with less than four minutes in the game.
KP Girls league record is 2-1 and overall 4-4. Next up for the Warriors is Franklin, Wednesday at 6:20 at Foxboro Ice Arena.
