After taking their lumps all season long, the (0-7) Red Wings have turned the corner just in time for the JCC of Bayonne’s Jr. Division floor hockey “Championship Tournament.” Playing their last regular season game against the (4-3) Blackhawks, the Red Wings put it all on the line. Battling for 20 scoreless minutes the Red Wings’ usually porous defense showed up ready to play as Khaled Rasslan, Kailey Delauter, Alexandra Hulsman, and Mariam Rasslan frustrated the Blackhawks net quest. With his teammates manning the fort, the Red Wings sent William Hulsman on the attack as Hulsman fought to put shots on net. While the Red Wings dug in, the Blackhawks kept chipping away until they finally got on the board as Anthony Baez assisted David Matos on a scoring dart. Down 1-0, with the clock becoming a factor, the Red Wings unleashed a relentless blitz of shots but the Blackhawks answered with brilliant goal tending by Steven Gulli and the ball-hawking of Aaliyana Cifuentes to secure a 1-0, Blackhawks win.
