Top-ranked Vikings draw Newburyport
by Cary Shuman • February 28, 2009 • 3 Comments
The Winthrop High boys hockey team will embark on its Journey to the Tourney this Friday evening at 7:30 at Salem State College when they take on Newburyport in a quarterfinal game of the MIAA Division 2 North sectional tournament.
Winthrop, the No. 1 seed in the North Sectional with a 19-1 record, was the only team to earn a bye in the 15 team bracket. Newburyport, the eighth seed with a 13-4-4, won its first round contest, 4-3 over Bishop Fenwick on Tuesday.
Winthrop High School (WHS) head coach Dale Dunbar scouted the 'Porters, who play in the Cape Ann League, in the contest with Fenwick..
"They're a good team that plays in a competitive league," said Dunbar. "But if we play our type of game and remain disciplined, I like our chances against them."
Dunbar was referring to the style of play that earned his Vikings a 16-1-3 record in the regular season and a league best 13-1-1 in the Northeastern Conference. Moreover, Winthrop allowed just 19 goals in their 20 games for a sub-1.00 goals against average that included seven shutouts for goaltender Pat Feeley that must be some sort of school record.
The Vikings' triumph in last week's Viking Pride Foundation Tournament was emblematic of the team's play all season. Winthrop defeated Plymouth North 2-1 in the preliminary game (with defenseman Kyle Cummings lighting the lamp in OT with a big slap shot from the point) and then topped Melrose 2-0 in the championship game on goals by Brendan Loomis and Kenny Hodgkins.
"Defense, goaltending, taking advantage of opportunities, and avoiding mistakes are always the key factors in the playoffs," noted Dunbar. "That's what got us this far, and, hopefully, we'll continue to execute in the same way in the tourney."
If the Vikings are successful against Newburyport, they will play on Monday at Chelmsford against the winner of the No. 4 Wilmington vs. No. 5 Tewksbury matchup.
