SKANEATELES - The win was locked in after the first period for the Skaneateles boys hockey team.

With a goal scored by Kaj Beck-Anderson 57 seconds into the first period of the consolation game against Williamsville-South in the Skaneateles hockey tournament, the Lakers rebounded nicely from a 2-1 loss to McQuaid on Friday night in the first round with a 5-1 win on Saturday.

The Lakers finished the first period with four goals - two of which were scored by Beck-Anderson, who was chosen as an All-Tournament player. Williamsville-South picked up their defensive effort after they were run over in the first period by managing to hold the Lakers off for the remainder of the game.

The Lakers' Matt Wood, Anthony Navaroli, and Keith Buehler each grabbed a goal to put the team up 5-0 at the end of the second period.

The Lakers' Section III-leading offense was relentless and the Billies' split time between two goalies. Matt Green started the game and had six saves, while Bryan D'Angelo racked up 24.

Tory Cole played a major role in the scoring with four assists in the game. Buehler had two assists and Wood and Navaroli each helped out with one assist a piece.

Only one goal was allowed by Skaneateles goalie Alex Richichi, who defended the net well with 13 saves in the game.

“We are still learning,” Lakers coach Mitch Major said of the difference between Friday night's game and Saturday's. “We have talent but when it comes to close games, we tend to have the same intensity but not the same composure.”

Their composure was constant throughout the game, though four of the five goals were awarded in the first period. Skaneateles held off Williamsville-South until the third period when they allowed Leo Shultz to break through on a pass from Brian Stachura.

Beck-Anderson was especially proud of their win.

“It was good to come back and win after yesterday, we put the puck in the net today, we dominated and played our systems,#” he said.

Major hopes that his team can learn from the win and that it will help them in facing their important league games that are coming up.

The first place Lakers (9-4) face their Division II-West rival Christian Brothers Academy (6-7) on Wednesday.

Section V's Canandaigua won the tournament with an exciting 2-1 win over McQuaid in the second game of the day.

The Braves scored first in the second period and did a good job of shutting out McQuaid until Mitch Bailey scored in the third period.

Britt Kostraba picked up both goals for Canandaigua, on passes from Ryan Cronin (two) and Kolby Erb (one).

Canandaigua's Mitch Collum tallied 17 saves, while Ben Krenzer had 15 for McQuaid.

Canandaigua's Mitch Collum was named tournament MVP.
