The quarter final game of the CIAC tournament showed the best (and at times the worst) of the Trumbull Eagles. The THS skaters got off to a slow start spotting Westhill two early goals including one in the first shift of the game. Westhill brought an aggressive physical game and badly out shot the Eagles (THS managed only 4 shots in the 2nd frame) over the first two periods.
And then, like so many times during the regular season, the real Trumbull Eagles showed up. Trailing 4-2 going into the third period, sophomore, Matt Paolini settled in (43 saves) and Trumbull grabbed hold of the game. Max Walker and Mike Ahearn move the puck well the the Eagle power play was on the mark. Ahearn's two third period goals tied the game setting the stage for Max Walker's OT winner in the final minutes of a hard fought OT period.
