Middleboro/Hull Needs a Shootout to Top Cohasset

BOURNE, Mass. - Matt Doyle was the hero his team needed Wednesday night.

The senior forward for the No. 8 Middleboro/Hull boys' hockey co-op flipped puck over the No. 9 Cohasset Skippers goaltender's shoulder and into the back of the net for the lone goal in a shootout.

Thanks to Doyle's goal and strong play in net from Sachems senior goaltender Jonathon O'Donnell, who made five stops in the shootout, the Sachems topped the Skippers, 4-3, in the first round the MIAA Division 3 South Sectional playoffs.

For Doyle, making the shot was as big of a relief for him as it was for anyone in attendance.
