GVH advances to Elite 8 Semi-finals with 3-1 win over Milton
Andover hosted Milton for the quarter finals of the Elite 8 NEPSGIHA tournament today and skated away with a 3-1 win. After a scoreless first period that saw PA outshoot Milton 12-2, it was the Mustangs who lit the goal lamp first with a goal just over six minutes into the second period. Andover took advantage of a power play opportunity 6 minutes later, however, when Emily Mara '25 tied the game with a tip off a beautiful passing sequence from Molly Boyle '25 and Peyton Kennedy '25. Claire Colvin '23 got the eventual game winner 2 minutes later when she finished on a 2 v 1 with Boyle. Julia Simon also assisted on the second goal and put the game away with an empty net goal with 48 seconds to play in the third. Milton's goalie Deguire had an impressive 40 saves on the day and their entire team played tough defense throughout. Avery Rodeheffer picked up the win in net for Andover with 8 saves.
Andover will host Kent in the semi-finals on Saturday in Harrison Rink - game time TBD. GO BLUE!!!
