Night of upsets
in Gund Cup action

Two OT games

---

The Cellar and AmeriTitle pulled off the upsets of the Senior Hockey League season Monday night in the Gund Cup semi-final games at Sun Valley Skating Center.

Both went into overtime.

The Cellar upset top-seeded regular-season league champ Grumpy’s (5-2) by a score of 3-2. Tom Forti scored for The Cellar, while Charles Friedman added another goal plus the game winner in OT. Caleb Baukol and Andre Lacroix lit the light for Grumpy’s.

Both goalies were exceptional—James Moskos for The Cellar and David Stone for Grumpy’s.

In a crazy finish, AmeriTitle stormed back from 4-1 and 7-5 deficits to oust #2-seeded Whitehead Landscaping 8-7.

Andrew Hebert scored the game-tying goal as a swarming AmeriTitle team scored three goals on one shift in the final three minutes for a 7-7 tie. Then Paul Baranzelli tallied his second goal, the game winner, in the extra session.

Other AmeriTitle goal scorers were Frank Salvoni 2, Phil Hebert, Tim Jeneson and Mikael Reijo. Scoring for Whitehead (3-3-1) were Matt Mahoney 2, Peter Whitehead 2, Brad Dredge 1, Dave Hennessy 1 and Jamie Dawson 1.

AmeriTitle eliminated Whitehead in last year’s Gund Cup semi-finals, also in OT.

In the Gund Cup finals Monday, Feb. 3: At 8:40 p.m., The Cellar (3-3-1) vs. AmeriTitle (3-4). AmeriTitle won last year’s title, its third Gund Cup in eight years, by a 6-5 score over Viva Taqueria.
