Slow start doesn’t hold back Bucs from defeating the Knights
December 24, 2017
What Happened: Grand Haven kept the win and shutout streaks alive as they emerged victorious, slaying the Kenowa Hills Knights 3-0. The Bucs started off slow offensively, not scoring in the first period of play, but their hard-nosed defense made up. It wasn’t until the middle of the second period when Grand Haven struck first with junior Ethan Pennington netting a tip-in goal. The Bucs didn’t look back from that point on, scoring two more while not letting the Knights offense get into a rhythm. Through all of this, the Bucs stay hot and senior Finn Bylsma has now not let through a goal in two straight games, playing lights-out in net.
They Said It: “We worked hard the whole game and never gave in,” junior Kyle Eveland said. “They made a charge in the second [period] but we just kept fighting.”
Up Next: Back to work on Saturday, Dec. 23 for the Bucs, as they host Bay Reps in what should be a barn-burner of a matchup.
