Thunder Earn spot in Quarter Finals!!
The Sunny Acre Farms Midgets clinched a birth the OMHA Quarter Final with a 2-0 win in Niagara Last night. Goaltender Zach Moulton ran his playoff record to 4-0-1, with two shutouts, while lowering his GAA to a miniscule 1.00 with the win.
Halton Hills scored first for the fifth straight game as Nick Molinaro continued to have a hot hand sniping his 5th of the playoffs from Jeff Brown and Matt Ormond.
After taking the lead the Thunder pelted the Niagara net with shots but as in previous games Flyer goaltending kept them in it as the score remained 1-0 at the intermission.
The game threatened to turn ugly just before the break but cooler heads prevailed and the two teams headed to the room to prepare themselves for the third.
The third period unfolded with the Thunder checking the Flyers closely, not giving them many chances until Gareth Marks with his first of the playoffs, gave Halton Hills the 2-0 lead from Dylan Sargent and Matt Hodgins. Niagara came up with some late pressure with the goalie out but Moulton wasn't to be beaten on this night. Final score 2-0.
Halton Hills have a few days off before finishing off the preliminary round vs, Caledon on Monday night at Alcott.
