TOYOTA USA HOCKEY HIGH SCHOOL NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP
EDWARDSVILLE 3, STONE BRIDGE (VA.) 2 (OT): Tyler Schaeffer scored twice – including the game-winner in overtime – to give Edwardsville a 3-2 overtime win over host Stone Bridge, Va., in a group-play game at the Toyota USA Hockey High School National Championship tournament in Ashburn, Va., Friday afternoon.
The Tigers are scheduled to take on Mariotts Ridge, Md., at 1:15 p.m. today in Reston, Va., to wrap up group play; a win would give the Tigers a 3-0 record in the group and put them in to Sunday's quarterfinals.
Tyler Hinterser scored for the Tigers in the second period to tie proceedings at 1-1, then Schaeffer scored later to give EHS a 2-1 lead before Stone Bridge forced overtime with a goal in the third. Schaeffer scored in overtime after the Tigers had killed off a two-man disadvantage in OT.
Matthew Griffin had 32 saves on 34 Stone Bridge shots to get the win for EHS.
