Williston got on the board at the 5:06 mark of the period when junior defenseman Will Tripp received a pass from Jake\u00a0Sacratini\u00a0as he crossed over the Martlet blueline.\u00a0 Tripp drove to the net and hit captain Tommy Harty driving to the far post.\u00a0 Westminster goalie Greyson Pane made the save and let a rebound fall a few feet above the crease where\u00a0Sacratini\u00a0took a swipe at the puck that bounced off some shin pads and landed on a hard-cutting\u00a0Latkovski\u2019s\u00a0stick who buried the rebound.\u00a0\u00a0Latkovski\u00a0netted\u00a0his second of the game when he forced a turnover at his own blueline and, like a steam locomotive rolling down the track, he skated hard, pulling away from the Westy defensemen, faked a forehand shot and let a buttery backhand go that many-a-goalie would have struggled with.\u00a0 Williston took a 2-0 lead into the first intermission.<\/p>\n

In the second,\u00a0Latkovski\u00a0got into the giving business when a draw from Harty in the offensive zone was bobbled by a few Westy forwards and corralled by number nineteen who was able to get the puck toward the net.\u00a0\u00a0Sacratini\u00a0lay in wait on the side of the\u00a0goal\u00a0and banked a shot off the inside pad of Pane,\u00a0putting the \u2018Cats up 3-0.\u00a0 Westy would get a goal with a little under two minutes remaining in the period.<\/p>\n

In the third, Westminster made it 3-2 just five minutes into the period.\u00a0 However, six minutes later and on the power play Tyler Varin received a pass from\u00a0Sacratini\u00a0in the middle of the ice;\u00a0Varin quickly worked the puck to Tripp on the right hash\u00a0mark who then made a quick pass to Harty cutting into the slot.\u00a0 Harty let a low blast go that was deflected by\u00a0Latkovski\u00a0for the hat trick.\u00a0 The final nail in the coffin came when\u00a0d-man Hunter Wilson scooted a puck up to the half wall to\u00a0Latkovski\u00a0who chipped the puck into the neutral zone where\u00a0Sacratini\u00a0gathered it and buried a blue-line shot into a goalie-less net sealing the deal, 5-2.<\/p>\n

Tonight, there were two game pucks given.\u00a0 The first to Emile\u00a0Savoie\u00a0who earned his second win of the season and who played well, making 29 saves.\u00a0 The other game puck went to\u00a0Latkovski\u00a0and his five-point night.<\/p>\n

Williston has a quick turnaround playing\u00a0the Loomis Chaffee Pelicans in Windsor, CT on Wednesday afternoon at 4:30.\u00a0 Williston hasn\u2019t beaten their neighbors to the south in quite some time and look to upend a solid 2019-2020 Loomis campaign.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
