By Mike Costantino
Lindsay Roy became the first female to score a goal for the Eastern Vikings varsity squad as they skated by Holy Cross 8-0 in a SJHSIHL game played on Monday night at Pennsauken. For most of you not familiar with Lindsay, a senior, she skates with the Eastern JV team. As most coaches will try and do, any seniors that are on the JV squad that have not dressed for a varsity game, schedule permitting, will play a varsity game before they graduate.

Clearview scored three power play goals in the third period, five overall, and remained undefeated by defeating Eastern 7-3 at Hollydell on Friday night. With the victory Clearview not only remains undefeated, but also should remain so until the last two games of the season when they play Township in back-to-back games. Eastern suffered its second loss of the season, both to Clearview and would need a lot of help to finish in first place.

Mike Becker notched a hat trick, but it was his hustle to break up a 2-on-1 to preserve the shutout that stood out as Eastern defeated Shawnee 10-0 at the Coliseum on Monday night. Although goalie Mike Keppler faced only seven shots, Shawnee had the odd man rush and only Becker's hustle from end -to end kept them off the scoreboard.

Six different players scored for Washington Township as they skated by Holy Cross 7-1 in a SJHSIHL game contested at Hollydell on Friday night. After spotting Holy Cross a 1-0 lead on a soft goal scored from about fifty feet in the first minute of the game, Township would dominate for the next forty-four minutes. The Minutemen would fire sixty-three shots on goal to just seven for the Lancers, and if not for the outstanding and courageous play of Holy Cross goaltender Brian Holland, the score would have been a lot worse.

Kyle Kelly scored three goals to lead Cherokee over West Deptford 6-4 in a SJHSIHL game played at Hollydell on Friday night. With the outstanding play of goaltender Phil Guinto, it looked like West Deptford might steal one as he denied Cherokee early on.

Finally at the eight-minute mark, Bob Cook scored for the Eagles on the first shot of the game with Jay Bratton getting the assist.

Lindsay Roy skated for the Vikings Sunday night and in doing so became the first female to compete in league play for Eastern. I arrived at Twin Rinks early in hopes of meeting Lindsay prior to her taking the ice and found her to be gracious and engaging. Standing around waiting to take the ice and surrounded by her teammates Lindsay seemed anxious and a bit nervous. When I asked her how she felt she said, "once my first shift is over I'll be able to settle down and try and help my team."

Eastern captured their first win of the season as Adam Roy broke a 2- 2 tie midway through the third period and the Vikings held on for a 3-2 victory.

To have been able to predict that the four teams left in the battle for ice hockey supremacy in South Jersey would also be the top four teams from the regular season in Tier 1 wouldn't qualify you as an expert. The tough part is predicting who will advance to the finals and ultimately capture the crown. Will Eastern repeat or will Lenape finally capture the gold? Here is a breakdown of each series, remember that the semi's and finals are best of three:
