Windsor 3, Norwich 2
NORWICH – On Norwich’s senior recognition night, the Black Knights came up with the winning goal in the final 10 minutes of play to break a 2-2 tie.
Logan Nagle hit a long-range shot that deflected off a Norwich’s defender’s head and into the upper corner of the net.
“It was the most physical game I’ve seen my team play in three years,” said Norwich coach John McCumiskey. “We had a bunch of nice balls up front, and it was definitely the most shots on goals we’ve had.”
Norwich sliced a 2-0 deficit in half with 6:45 remaining in the opening period. Dyer Moore’s throw-in skipped through the Windsor defense, and Nate Perry connected on his shot.
Jason Woodard tied the game up in the second half as Moore again was tabbed with the assist.
Woodard, Moore, Kyle Acenowr, and Nathan Pullas were seniors honored during halftime. Norwich finishes the season 0-13.
