Boys High School Hockey on Saturday

The game of the day on Saturday was # 8 Kettle Moraine/Mukwonago against #7 Milwaukee Marquette. Both teams were coming off big wins with Marquette having downed Honorable Mention Hayward Thursday, while Kettle Moraine/Mukwonago had just beaten #3 University School on Friday.

Kettle Moraine/Mukwonago ended up winning the game 4-2 against University School yesterday, and an anonymous reader left this report:

This was a high tempo game before a packed house at Eble Ice Arena. Marquette came out determined and scored the first goal but after that KMM slowly took control of the game. The difference was KMM's depth and relentless style of play. KMM took advantage of some defensive lapses and scored on two long passes up the middle freeing up a forward one on one against the Marquette goalie. In the third period with a two goal lead the game was all KMM as they never let Marquette get any momentum and continually frustrated the Marquette top line with solid fore and strong back checking. Both teams are very solid and will be strong contenders for a spot at the State Tournament in March.
