The Panthers stunned a talented and undefeated Hopkinton team with a 3-1 win on Wednesday night.

Captain Jack Larche tied the game on a turn around slap shot from 20 feet out that hit the Hillers goalie on his mask and bounced over his shoulder and in. Senior Jake Kober scored the game winner after a scrum in the crease that the Hillers failed to contain.

Medfield came out strong in the third and scored 2 quick goals to tie the game before Cooper DeCristofaro scored his second goal on a power play to give the Panthers the victory. A late flurry by Medfield fell short propelling the Panthers into first place. The Panthers are now 6-1-1 overall with 13 points and face Norton next who are 2-4-2 overall and are 1-3-2 in the TVL.
Game 9: Wednesday, 1-10-18 at 6 PM vs. Norton

The Panthers were a little flat in the second and both teams had good chances but the game remained scoreless going into the third period. The Panthers picked it up a notch in the third and struck first when Cam DeCristofaro tipped in a shot from the point to make it 1-0. Norton tied the game a minute or so later scoring on a rebound shot from the slot.

The Panthers continued to play solid defense behind Seniors Jack Wilkie, Tim Ringie, Will Fitzgerald and Jake Kober but they will need to remain strong when they face a tough Medway team on Wednesday. Medway is 3-2 in the TVL and 6-4 overall.
Game 11: Wednesday, 1-17-18 at 3:50 PM vs. Medway
The Panthers struggled to generate scoring chances in a 3-0 loss to a fast and skilled D2 Medway team. Medway took a page out of the Panthers playbook and overwhelmed them with a strong fore-checking game and good team defense. The Panthers looked a little flat at times and struggled to break the puck out of their own end. When they did break out, Medway dominated the neutral zone and limited the Panthers offense to 20 shots on net. Despite 2 third period power plays, the Panthers couldn't find the back of the net. Goalie Nico Quatromoni faced 41 shots in the Panthers first TVL loss of the season. The Panthers are now 6-2-1 in the TVL (8-2-1 overall) and tied with Hopkinton for first place with 13 points. Next up is Bellingham and the Panthers will be looking to get back on the winning track, needing just 3 points to make it to the Tournament.
Game 12: Saturday, 1-20-18 at 6 PM vs. Bellingham
The Panthers defeated a struggling Bellingham team 7-1 Saturday night. With the score 2-1 after the first period, the Panthers broke the game open in the second scoring 4 goals on a 5 minute major boarding penalty to Bellingham.

Game 13: Wednesday, 1-24-18 at 3:50 PM vs. Ashland

Additional goals were scored by Sophomore Jackson Goughan, Senior Captain Jack Wilkie and Freshman Christian Schneeloch. It wasn't their best effort of the season by far but they managed to neutralize any threats by Ashland until late in the third when Ashland finally got on the board. The Panthers brought their record to 8-1-1 in the TVL (10-2-1 overall) and remain tied for first place with Hopkinton. Next up is Dedham.
Game 14: Saturday, 1-27-18 at 8:30 PM vs. Dedham
The Panthers defeated Dedham in a lackluster effort on Saturday night 2-1. The Panthers led 2-0 on goals by Senior James Franco and Freshman Christian Schneeloch for most of the game but let Dedham get on the board in the third period.

They need to be sharp with a tough stretch of games ahead, facing D2 teams Westwood and Medfield and a rematch against Hopkinton. First up is Westwood.
Game 15: Wednesday, 1-31-18 at 7:30 PM vs. Westwood
The Panthers lost to Westwood 2-0 in a physical game where the officiating, unfortunately, had a direct impact on the outcome of the game. Between the high hits, tripping and leg checks that went unaddressed all game, it was a game we'd rather just forget and move on to an opponent that actually wants to play hockey. Next up is Hopkinton who will be looking to avenge their 3-1 loss to the Panthers back in game 7.
Game 16: Saturday, 2-3-18 at 6:40 PM vs. Hopkinton
The Panthers lost to Hopkinton 3-0. Not a lot of scoring chances for the Panthers the last few games but they need to turn that around when they face Medfield for the last time this season. Hopkinton is alone in first place in the TVL with 21 pts. with Medfield and Holliston right behind with 20 and 19 points each. The Panthers face Medfield Wednesday.
Game 17: Wednesday, 2-7-18 at 4:50 PM vs. Medfield **Postponed**
