Marlborough – The fourth-seed Marlborough High School boys ice hockey team scored three goals in 61 seconds to defeat fifth-seed Algonquin Regional High School in a Central Division 3 quarter-finals playoff game by a score of 3-2. The game was March 1.
Jerry McCarthy, Jake Hardy and Christian McKinnon scored three goals in quick succession in the first period to give Marlborough a commanding lead. Kevin Reale and Sean Prendergast both netted goals in the third period to pull Algonquin within one, but that was not enough to overcome the deficit.
Marlborough advances to play top-seed Shrewsbury in the semi-finals on March 7. Algonquin concludes their season with an 11-8-2 overall record.
