MENDHAM 5, KJS UNITED 5
Thanks to a hat-trick from Liam Lloyd, Mendham rallied from a two-goal deficit to earn a 5-5 tie with KJS United at Skylands Ice World.
KJS United (Kinnelon-Jefferson-Sparta), in its debut as a tri-op program, built an early 2-0 lead on goals from James Battaglia and Matthew Espinosa. But a 4-2 lead in the second period quickly evaporated, as Lloyd scored twice in 1:27 to tie the game late in the second. Then, after Espinosa gave KJS United the lead just after Lloyd’s game-tying goal, Lloyd found the back of the net early in the third period to cap the scoring.
Griffin Jozefek had two assists for Mendham (0-0-1), Gavin Marshuetz had a goal and an assist and Tristan Aikenhead also scored.
Espinosa finished with two goals for KJS (0-0-1), while Mitchell Fradkin and Nicolas Rosian each added goals.
