No. 4 Kennett 3, No. 5 Souhegan 2
Kennett advanced to its eighth Frozen Four in nine years, knocking out the defending State Champion. Eagles’ defenseman Dan Nusbaum delivered the game-winner with 1:14 to play on a dump-in from just outside the offensive blue line.
Souhegan had leads of 1-0 and 2-1 on goals from Jon Erlich (first period) and James Wilson, who closed the second period with an end-to-end solo dash. Kennett’s Robby Moody countered both goals and Josh Kondrat finished with 20 saves.
“It was a crazy game, well-played by both teams. We’re very happy to be headed back to Concord,” said Kennett coach Mike Lane.
