Junior Whalers hockey advances in playoffs

By Steve Theroux
Contributing Writer


Nantucket’s Junior Whalers hockey team advanced to the semifinal round of the Bay State Hockey’s Southeast Division Saturday with a 3-2 overtime victory against Lakeville-Freetown in New Bedford.


The action-packed game saw Lakeville take a 1-0 lead in the first on a goal by Nate Farrington. Nantucket came back to even the score early in the second on a power-play goal by Zach Almodobar with assists to Jack Moran and Ben Daniels. The score would remain 1-1 after two periods. The Whalers added another goal halfway through the third period to go up 2-1 when Ethan Lockley scored from the point on a nice feed from winger Stevie Reis.

Lakeville-Freetown answered right back later in the third on another goal by Farrington to tie the game at two.
