Althoff JV Defeats Granite City in Shootout to Force Game 3
3/9/2009
It was another Althoff-Granite City game decided by a shootout only this time it was the JV squads. After Kyle Chatham scored two goals and Anthony Delaney scored a goal, Althoff was holding on to a 3-2 lead until Granite City scored with 20.7 seconds remaining to send the game into a shootout. After Eric Davis and Josh Hasamear matched goals with Granite City's first two shooters, Adam Kassly came up big stopping the Warrior's third shooter. Althoff's next shooter, Andrew Greene, put a snap shot past the Granite City goalie to give the Crusaders the victory to force a deciding game Tuesday night in Fairview.

Anthony Delaney added an assist, while Eric Effinger with 2 assists and Brice Baricevic with 1 assist rounded out the scoring. Adam Kassly stopped 21 of 24 shots in regulation to earn the victory.
