PMHS ice hockey dominates Tappan Zee 16-1 in sectional playoffs opener, advances to semifinals

PHMS boys hockey advanced to the semifinals of the Section 1 Division 2 tournament Monday night with a resounding 16-1 win over Tappan Zee. 

The first-seeded Pelicans came into the game as also the No. 1 ranked team in the section, and they looked the part in a comprehensive victory. 

Senior captain Ben Rosenberg scored Pelham’s first goal early in the game, with more than 16 minutes remaining in the first period. The rest of the night followed that trend, Pelham went into the third period up 13-1. Junior defenseman Angus Deeney scored the final goal in the third period. 

Junior standout Louie Marcellino netted six goals. Rosenberg added four after his opener. Deeney and senior captain Jordan Hurd both had two. 

Pelham now faces off against Horace Greeley Thursday at the Ice Hutch, hoping to continue their playoff push. A win here would ensure a trip to regionals due to Section 1’s at-large bid this year.
