2004 St Margarets Fall Face-Off Consolation Game ~ Fox Chapel 4 Pine Richland 1 Fox Chapel bounced back from their Semi-Final loss to Plum with a 4-1 victory over Pine Richland. Matt Quigley scored all 4 Foxes goals and Brandon Beall was outstanding between the pipes for FC stopping 36 of 37 shots from the Rams, who outshot Fox Chapel 37-21. PR’s Phil Trombetta broke Beall’s shutout bid with 3:01 left in the 2nd period with a shorthanded goal. 2004 St Margaret’s Fall Face-Off Championship ~ North Allegheny 4 Plum 2 North Allegheny entered a record 6th St Margaret’s Fall Face-Off final, including the 4th consecutive year, which is exactly half of the 12 years of the event. Their opponent Plum, a surprise to many, who upended Fox Chapel in Tuesday’s semi-final with an impressive defensive effort led by goaltender Brandon King and stalwart defenseman Phil Mains. The Mustangs and Tigers would be a rematch of the 2003 final in which NA outlasted Plum 2-1 in four overtimes. North Allegheny took the play to Plum in the opening period with an assault on King and the Mustangs with a 1-5 shot advantage. Brandon Lied opened the scoring with a bank shot off the Mustang netminder at 8:47 for a 1-0 lead. NA’s Garrett Waldschmidt took a beautiful feed from Derek Rusbarsky and buried a wrist shot with 2:47 left in the opening period to extend the lead to 2-0. The Tigers just kept coming at Plum with relentless fore-checking and Wes Waldschmidt banged home a Brandon Lied rebound and all the sudden NA held a 3-0 lead at the break. On to the second period and the Tigers continued their onslaught on Plum as Matt Pekins bombed a wrist shot high over the glove side of Brandon King and North Allegheny was off and running with a 4-0 lead with 12:19 left in the middle frame. Plum could have loaded up the car and headed over the Hulton Bridge and back up route 909, but Stu Rulnick’s squad is a hardworking group, which never quits. A lazy North Allegheny penalty was the spark the Mustangs needed and Phil Mains converted a great cross ice pass from Jonathon Smith, high over the glove hand side of Jeff Kristan, to put Plum on the board with 8:01 left in the 2nd period. The teams battled into the third period and the Mustangs where looking to cut the lead again, while North Allegheny seemed more interested in just running the clock out. Phil Mains delivered a crunching open ice check on a Tiger forward and David Dincau converted another great pass by Jonathon Smith at 5:57 on the same shift to cut the advantage to 4-2. North Allegheny would shut the door the rest of the way and Tom Pandolfo’s Tigers would claimed their 2nd straight St Margaret’s Fall Face-Off and 3rd in 4 years.
