Cifuentes, Matos star as Hawks down Bruins

Riding high boasting a (4-0) record, the Bruins ran into a buzzsaw in their week 4 JCC of Bayonne’s Jr. Division floor Hockey bout against the (2-2) Blackhawks. The game started with both squads trading goals as the Bruins’ William Hulsman scored off another assist from Christian Benson while the Blackhawks answered as David Matos drilled in a goal with Alexandra Hulsman on the assist. Tied at 1-1, the Blackhawks lowered the boom by racking up eleven unanswered goals as Aaliyana Cifuentes (7 goals, 2 assists), Steven Gulli (1 goal, 1 assist), David Matos (2 goals, 6 assists), Alexandra Hulsman (1 goal, 1 assist), and Anthony Baez (1 assist) piled up the points. Adrift in unfamiliar waters, the Bruins tried to keep afloat as Toni Rivada, Brenden McCall, William Hulsman, and Christian Benson fought to the final whistle as Hulsman assisted Benson for a buzzer beating goal. As the dust settled, the Blackhawks ruled the day with a stunning 12-2 victory over the previously undefeated Bruins.
