First Report

Zach Howard scored twice late in the third period to turn a one-goal deficit into a lead St. Thomas Academy would hold as it knocked off Cretin-Derham Hall 4-3 Saturday night at Bloomington Ice Garden.

The Cadets (1-1) used a charged opening and physical play to seize the early momentum over Cretin-Derham Hall, and then weathered a Raiders response in the second. The significant advantage in puck possession and zone time lifted into a more balanced third, but STA’s pressure paid off late against the Raiders (0-1), ranked No. 2 in Class 2A according to the preseason Let’s Play Hockey coaches’ poll.

Cadets’ goaltender Tyler Magnozzi made 27 saves in the victory.

Attila Lippi and Jake Sonderai each finished with a goal and an assist for the Raiders.
