We are now down to 4 in the Section 2 Division 1 hockey tournament. Top-seeded Saratoga will take the ice first at 7 vs. Albany Academy, while Shenendehowa will look to lock down a return trip to the finals vs. LaSalle.
Albany Academy @ Saratoga, 7 pm.:
Academy has been hot & cold this season, and now is not a time to go cold against the #1 team in the league. It's been a while since Saratoga even won a regular season title, and they're savoring every second.
Pick: Saratoga.
LaSalle @ Shen, 7:35 pm.
Shen defeated LaSalle, 7-3, last month, so the Cadets, winners of 5 in a row, will have revenge on their minds. Job 1 for Shen is to slow down, if not shut down, LaSalle's leading scorer, Michael Nocera, who strafed CBA for 4 goals last Friday. As for the Cadets, revenge is not top priority. Getting out to a fast start is, because if they jump out to an early lead as they did vs. CBA, Shen will have a long night.
Unfortunately, I don't see it happening.
Pick: Shen.
Of course, I could be wrong.
