Carrick outlasts Quigley in overtime 6-5
The OT started with The Cougars killing off the remaining time of the Kincaid penalty and then an Interference minor to team Captain Jay Kass at 6:56. Carrick and Quigley tightened up their defense allowing only two and four shots respectively. Once again it was up to the Assistant Captain Mitchell Faust to provide the heroics and come through when his team needed him. Faust chased a loose puck in behind the Spartan net and was trying to work it in front when he was hit by a Quigley player and knocked into Jeremy Dolence. Dolence then hit Faust with a cross check drawing a minor penalty and tried to take the big Carrick forward with him to the penalty box by striking Faust with a left. But Faust just skated away to get his team the chance they needed to end the game. Dolence was given a second penalty for Roughing and a 10 minute Misconduct. Faust however was not finished. He notched his third and the game winning goal at :44. Matt Mahouski picked up his second assist on the Faust goal. The win sends the Cougars into Thursday night’s Nailer Cup Final game against the winner of the Morgantown vs. Wheeling Central matchup.
