Georgetown Prep’s come from behind 3-2 victory against Landon (4-1, MAPHL) featured spectacular goaltending, slick scoring plays and a capacity crowd that was thoroughly entertained. The win also solidified the Little Hoyas (7-1, MAPHL) hold of first place in the Mid Atlantic Prep Hockey League.

With 10 minutes left in the game, Walker Johnston capped off the comeback and scored the game winner when he found a loose puck among a pile of bodies in front of the net and chipped it into the open cage. Landon’s Max Weinstein made a save on the initial shot, but couldn’t locate the puck.

Matthew Brille’s unassisted power-play goal at 11:12 of the first period gave Landon a 1-0 lead going into the first intermission. Brille controlled the puck in the offensive zone and fired a wrist shot from the left circle over the glove of Elon Granston.

Prep tied the game at 3:26 of the second period with a power-play goal of their own.  Alex Chiconas fed Patrick Fitzgerald who blasted a slap shot past Weinstein. The Bears regained the lead just over a minute later when Ryan Giles fired a laser from the left circle and past Granston’s glove side.

Peter Roche tied the game again when he skated in from the right side and wristed a shot under Weinstein’s glove with less than four minutes to go in the second period.

The score could have been a lot higher had it not been for a handful of sparkling saves from both goalies. Granston bailed out his team while they were on a power play when he made a glove save of shot on a Landon two-on-one to keep the game scoreless midway through the first period, while Weinstein kept Prep off the board with his own sterling save with a minute and half left in the first period.

Granston made 30 saves on 32 shots he faced in the game, while the Bears’ Weinstein stopped 22 of the 25 shots he faced.
