The Eagles are coming off a hard fought, 4-2 loss to the Greenwich Cardinals. Although there were still areas needing improvement, this may have been Trumbull's most complete game against a quality opponent. THS has faced two tough D1 teams this season and has found themselves in a position to win each of them, tied with both New Canaan and Greenwich into the third period. The issue for the THS skaters is that between those two efforts, they managed a 4-1 loss to a D3, New Milford team that outworked and outexecuted them, scoring three short handed goals.
The Trumbull Eagles put up a good fight in their first D1 game of the season, hosting the New Canaan Rams. The THS skaters stuggled to make plays early but junior goalie, Alex Tsymbaluk was rock solid keeping the Rams off the board for a scoreless first period. With some great work from Trumbull's line of sophomores (McLean, Finnegan and Guererra), the Eagles ended the frame with a 2-1 lead. The Rams scored two quick goals in the third to get back on top and would go onto win 4-3.
Goals: Guererra, Finnegan, Jackel Assists: Guererra (2), McLean (2), Finnegan, Bellios
