Stumble It!FAIRBANKS — Delta Junction’s hockey team survived a comeback from Monroe Catholic to win 5-3 Tuesday night.
The Huskies were up 3-0 by the first intermission and had a 3-1 edge after the second period, but the Rams surged back to tie the game at 3 with 7 minutes left. Delta pulled away with a goal with 1:41 remaining.
“We can’t be going down 3-0 like we have the past few games,” Monroe coach Leo Faro said. “... If it had been 1-1, we could have turned it the other way.”
Joe Junior led the Huskies with three goals and one assist. Jake Gebauer had a goal and an assist, Eathon Gebauer had a goal and Caleb Brown had an assist. Delta goalie Harold Probert tallied 15 saves.
Monroe’s goals came courtesy of Eric Ringstad, who had two, and Dan Bunten. Timmy Johnson tabbed three helpers, and Tyler Holmes chipped in one. At the net, Andy Bunten had 33 saves for the Rams.
