#4 Malone Huskies @ #1 Beekmantown Eagles - Upstate New York Girl's Hockey League Section VII Semi-finals- January 29th 2020

Franklin Academy’s Olivia Cook scores on the breakaway to score the eventual game-winner over Beekmantown. The Huskies defeated the Eagles 3-2 in the sectional semifinal Wednesday at the Scotts’ Rink in Chazy. History was made Wednesday night at the Scotts’ Memorial Rink in Chazy, as the Franklin Academy girls’ hockey team earned an upset victory over Beekmantown in the Section 7 Semifinals. The Huskies’ 3-2 win on the road was the first playoff triumph in program history. In a back-and-forth first period that saw the road team edge the hosts in shots on goal 8-6, Franklin Academy scored the only tally in the final moments of the period when Vail St. Hilaire put home a feed from her sister Whitney. The Eagles found themselves in an ever-deeper hole early in the second period, after Huskies defenseman Courtney Bouyea hit the upper corner with a wrist shot from the high slot off a pass from Olivia Cook. Beekmantown’s leading goal-scorer, senior Bailey Carter, got the home team on the board at the 9:30 mark of the second, but Cook restored Franklin Academy’s two-goal lead 91 seconds later on the breakaway. The Eagles appeared to have scored another goal shortly before the end of the second period, by the referee cut the celebration short after ruling that the net had been dislodged. Carter scored the only goal of the third period, collecting a cross-ice pass from Brooke Ruest on the power play and send it home from the right half board to beat Huskies goaltender Gina Norcross. An aggressive forecheck late in the game by Franklin Academy stifled the Eagles’ ability to pull goaltender Brianne Knight until the final 30 seconds, and the Huskies held on for the 3-2 win. Norcross made 23 saves in the win, while Knight made 17. With the win, Franklin Academy advanced to Monday’s Section 7 Final against Plattsburgh High School. Gallery
