Chase Vallese's goal with less than two minutes remaining in the game sent the boisterous crowd into a frenzy and gave the Gonzaga Eagles a 2-1 victory over Calvert hall in the MAPHL "AA" Division championship game on Friday night  at Laurel. It was the Eagles' fourth MAPHL title in the last eight years and the first since 2014.

Calvert Hall's Brennan O'Brien scored at 8:35 of the third period to tie a close-checking game at 1-1 and set up the late game heroics from Vallese.

After a scoreless first period, Connor Tait struck first with a goal at 8:06 of the second period. Vallese's pass sent Tait into the offensive zone, where he skated into the slot and wristed a shot over Calvert Hall goalie Matt Schaab's right shoulder.

Vallese's winning goal turned out to be a family affair as his brother, Cole, got the secondary assist on the play. Tait got the primary assist.

Earlier in the evening, Gonzaga's Varsity II team defeated DeMatha's Varsity II to win the MAPHL "A" Division championship. It was the Eagles' second consecutive "A" Division championship.

It's the first time that the same school won both the MAPHL "A" and "AA" Division titles in the same year.
