TJ mounts big comeback in OT !
HARMARVILLE -
2002 CC INVITATIONAL - SEMI FINALS
Central Catholic was looking to capture its first Invitational in 14 years and came very close last years final losing to Bethel Park in the finals 2-1. Thomas Jefferson, who captured the title in 1998, was looking to capture some past glory and return to the coveted finals again.
After a scoreless first period, just 45 seconds into the second period, Michael McGurk gave the Vikings a 1-0 lead. Then after killing off a Thomas Jefferson penalty, Matt Urso chipped the puck past the Jaguar defense and beat Bryan Adamczyk on the forehand to extend the CC lead to 2-0.
Central was coasting and an errant clearing attempt found its way on the stick of Daryl Nath who buried a wrist shot at 2:34 to get TJ on the board 2-1. The Jaguars tied the game with a little over ten minutes remaining in regulation as Andrew Olmstead scored to make it 2-2.
The game went into overtime and Olmstead caught the CC defense pinching which created an odd man break and he threaded a perfect pass to a streaking Derek Kelly, who buried a shot at 8:33 of the OT and sent the Jaguars to the Finals.
