Williston vs. Worcester Preview, Wildcats Look to Win 4th Straight

by Team Reporter & Writer-Nate Gordon

On Wednesday, January 8, Williston Hockey (5-3-1) will face its first opponent of 2014, the Worcester Academy Hilltoppers (1-7). The game is scheduled to begin a 3:40p.m. at the New England Sports Center in Marlborough, Mass.  Williston will be looking to win its fourth straight game and fifth the last six games.

In their last game, on December 29, the Wildcats defeated Nobles 3-2 with junior forward Brandon Borges recording a Hat-trick.

Williston had another game scheduled for the evening on December 29. Since no officials appeared, it was canceled.

The Hilltoppers come into tomorrow’s game having lost their last four. In those games, they were outscored by their opponents 26 to 8.

With that said, the Wildcats know they can’t come into the game unfocused. Head Coach Derek Cunha said after practice on Tuesday, the 7th, “We have to play them as hard as any other team this year. We will play them like a [7-1] team. The records can be very misleading at times.

In its most recent weekly poll of New England Prep Hockey teams, the New England Hockey Journal ranked Williston #8. Salisbury was ranked #1. Williston lost to the Crimson Knights by just one goal back on December 7.

As usual, I will be tweeting game updates from the team’s Twitter account (@WillistonHockey).
