St. Mary’s Springs 4 Fond du Lac 0 to net WIAA tourney win

FOND DU LAC – Zach Welsch scored twice in a three-goal second period and St. Mary’s Springs shut out rival Fond du Lac for the second time this season, collecting a 4-0 win over the Cardinals in a WIAA sectional semifinal hockey game at the Blue Line Family Ice Center on Tuesday night.

The Ledgers, the No. 2 seed in the sectionals, will face top-seeded University School of Milwaukee with a state berth on the line on Saturday at 5:30 p.m. at the Blue Line Ice Center. University School beat Waupun, 6-3, in the other semifinal.

Fond du Lac head coach Ryan Sarazin thought his team played much better in the second period on Tuesday after being outshot 16-1 in the opening period.

The Cardinals had more shots than the Ledgers in the second period – 12 to 11 – and had some good scoring opportunities but couldn’t get a puck past Springs’ goalkeeper Colin Ahern.

“In two games, we’ve had trouble cracking that goal down there. Credit their defense and goaltending,” Sarazin said. “I thought we played better in the second and we come out down 3-0 because they do a good job capitalizing on the rush opportunities they had.”

Fond du Lac had a chance early in the second period to take the lead when the Ledgers took a five-minute major penalty.

But the Cardinals managed only two shots on goal in the first three-plus minutes of the power play and then lost the man advantage when they were charged with a penalty.

Fond du Lac freshman Corbin Guy also had a strong night in net, stopping 42 shots in the game and taking a hard hit from the Ledgers’ Justin Schwartzmiller that led to the five-minute penalty.

“He’s really been seeing the puck well. In the Arrowhead game last week he was dialed in and we were lucky he was tonight as we were trying to start our engines,” Sarazin said. “There is a good core group there coming back. You look down our scoring lineup, where our scoring punch comes from and there are a lot of guys who will be back in the locker room.”

St. Mary’s Springs 0 3 1 – 4

Fond du Lac, St. Mary’s Springs ready for tournament hockey showdown

FOND DU LAC – It’s always something special when Fond du Lac and St. Mary’s Springs face off on a hockey rink. But this meeting between the two Fond du Lac area programs will be ramped up even more.The Cardinals and Ledgers will collide at Blue Line Family Ice Center at 8 p.m. Tuesday  in a WIAA sectional semifinal, and both coaches are expecting a great atmosphere when the teams take the ice. “Tuesday is going to be a blast. It always is fun when the two teams get together,” Ledgers coach Tim Ahern said. “There will be a lot of people in the building and it should be a whole lot of fun for the fans.”

As much as it is about the two high school programs colliding in a tournament contest, the game also showcases the efforts of the city’s youth hockey programs.The majority of the players have come through the same youth system before choosing which school to attend at the high school level, which means both successful squads are products of the same feeder program.

“It shows the depth of our youth program, and that’s something a lot of people in the community have worked hard at,” Fond du Lac coach Ryan Sarazin said. “Both programs knew we were on the edge of getting some talented players and now they are showing that on the ice. It will be a big showcase of that and a sense of pride for the community.”

Fond du Lac is the only one of the four teams remaining in the sectional that was seeded entering the tournament. The Cardinals had to play a first-round game against Sheboygan — which it won 6-3 — and then posted a 4-1 win over third-seeded Arrowhead. Fond du Lac hasn’t lost in its last three games and is 5-2-1 since Jan. 23. “We’re kind of coming together as a team. It seems like in January we started to hang up a few more wins and It’s good to see at the right time,” Sarazin said. “It’s always our goal to be getting the best out of our kids at tournament time and have them getting the best out of their game this time of year.” Sarazin pointed to a couple of areas for the Cardinals’ resurgence. He said the team has really bought in to the defensive concepts and have been shining on that end of the ice, while being more patient within the game.The Cardinals also have stepped up their play on the specials teams, including on the power play where Fond du Lac has scored four goals with an extra skater the last three games.“We struggled early in the year both scoring goals on the power play and on the penalty kill and we seem to be staying more disciplined right now,” Sarazin said.

Springs has certainly been on a roll the entire season and has lost just twice in 2018 — both coming to teams ranked in the top seven. The Ledgers are 9-2-1 since Jan. 6 and have outscored their opponents 54-17 and have four shutout wins in that span.Springs rolled past West Bend’s co-op program 8-1 in a regional tournament game last week as six players found the net in the win.“We’re getting scoring out of all of our lines and our defense has been real solid,” Springs coach Tim Ahern said. “I feel real good. We’re healthy and I like where we are at.”One advantage the Ledgers might have in this one is in net with senior goalkeeper Colin Ahern. Colin Ahern, the player of the year in the Badgerland Conference, has a .946 save percentage and seven shutouts, and having a netminder like that has allowed the young Ledgers confidence. “It really helps our blue line corps because four of the five guys are freshmen, so it’s loosened them up and let them play a little more freely,” Tim Ahern said. “It is definitely a good feeling, knowing if you let something happen, you have a nice backstop there in Colin. Colin Ahern had one of his shutouts when the teams met Dec. 22 as the Ledgers registered a 5-0 win.

Neither coach, though, believes that game will have much of an effect on Tuesday’s contest Both teams have improved over the course of the season as each young roster has gained experience and that makes what transpired nearly two months ago of little consequence.“Too long ago for both teams. They’ve done a great job with a lineup that has allowed them to win and you can’t take that for granted,” Ahern said.

“It’s a totally different environment but in this case we have something to prove. We weren’t together at that point of the season, like we are now,” Sarazin said. “I congratulate them on a great game earlier in the year, but we didn’t perform to the level we should have. “Each game plays out differently, especially in the playoffs and hopefully we can put that one behind us and come out with our best effort on Tuesday.”

Senior Spotlight – Zach Wilson looks right at home on a sheet of slippery ice.

The senior defenseman, who was an honorable mention all-Badgerland selection last year, leads all Fond du Lac blueliners in scoring this season and his 14 points is tied for second overall on a Cardinals team that is 6-8. Wilson is one of the captains of the young Cardinals team and sees this group getting things cranked up as the regular season starts to wind down. “The key to turning it around is us, as leaders, need to step it up and we need to start playing as more of a team,” Wilson said. “What I like about hockey is the overall being around the team, playing with the boys. Just being able to go out and grind every day

Do you have a nickname? I go as Wheels or Willie.

What is your greatest sports accomplishment? Getting a letter as a captain for the Fond du Lac hockey team. That’s a pretty big honor.

What is your most embarrassing sports moment? Getting hit in the face with a tennis ball last tennis season.

Do you have any pregame superstitions or rituals? I always goof around with a soccer ball in pregame.

Why are sports important to you? It’s taught me to grow up a bit more, just overall becoming a man, I guess.

St. Mary’s Springs skates to shutout win over rival Fond du Lac

FOND DU LAC – Trailing 1-0 to start the second period, Fond du Lac came out with a flurry of energy and activity, controlled possession and put a plethora of pressure on the St. Mary’s Springs defense. Then, just like that, they were facing a 2-0 deficit and the Ledgers had all the momentum. Zach Welsch’s goal off a nifty give-and-go stopped the Cardinals in their tracks and kicked off a four-goal period as St. Mary’s Springs collected the 5-0 win at the Blue Line Ice Center on Friday night to retain the Sturgeon Cup. “We talked between the two periods that we needed to come out hot and we didn’t at the beginning,” Ledgers head coach Tim Ahern said. “But that goal was big and really kind of opened the floodgates for us.”

Welsch would score twice in the period, while Justin Schwartzmiller and Brady Welsch also scored, yet it was that first goal just 1:06 into the stanza that seemed to leave the Cardinals stunned. “It was like a punch in the gut,” Fond du Lac coach Ryan Sarazin said. “I thought we had good momentum and I thought we dominated the first shift and first minute but they came back and got a goal and really grabbed all of the momentum of the game. That’s how hockey goes sometimes.”

With the Ledgers pinned inside their own blue line seemingly from the start of the second period, St. Mary’s Springs was able to gain possession of the puck and Zach Welsch took a long pass near center ice as he zoomed up the rink. He skated across the blue stretching toward the left boards when he delivered a pass to Mitchell Huettl near the right face-off circle. Huettl returned the puck and Zach Welsch popped the puck into the open net. “That was huge. Mitchy made a great pass and it just fired the whole bench up,” Zach Welsch said. “We were on a roll after that.” Huettl and Zach Welsch pick up assists on Brady Welsch’s goal about eight minutes into the second period for a 3-0 lead, while Brady Welsch returned the favor to Zach on the next goal as the junior captain dropped to a knee to drive the one-timer past Fond du Lac goalkeeper Corbin Guy.

Schwartzmiller, who tallied the lone goal in the first period, followed Zach Welsch’s second goal with his second tally and the Ledgers had their five-goal lead. “We were moving pucks great on our line rushes and then just basically finish back door on our chances,” Zach Welsch said. Ahern was pleased with the way his squad was getting skaters and pucks to the net in the period. “The other thing we did really, really well tonight was driving the net,” Ahern said. “All of our goals were within 2 or 3 feet of the net and that was because we had good center ice drive, brought it in wide and found the guy going hard to the net, which is great.”

Despite some modest scoring chances in the third period, neither team found the net and Colin Ahern put the capper on his 20-save shutout, fighting off a rising shot with 38 seconds left to keep Fond du Lac off the scoreboard. “I try not to (think about the shutout). In the third, in the last five minutes, I sneak a peek at the scoreboard to see how much time is left,” said Colin Ahern, who notched his third shutout of the season. “I just try to stay in the moment. Try to do the best I can and try to get a win.”

Guy finished with 21 saves for Fond du Lac, including a couple of tough stops in the first period before Schwartzmiller scored with about six minutes left in the period. The Cardinal defense also played well in the period keeping numerous shots off their netminder to stymie the Ledger attack. “We did block a lot of shots which was good, but it’s also a concern because it means we aren’t having puck possession,” Sarazin said. “Hockey is a game of flow and when they got the momentum we didn’t respond well.”

The win means the Sturgeon Cup will remain with the Ledgers, who have captured a win in the rivalry game in three of the four years since the traveling trophy was introduced. It’s a victory that St. Mary’s Springs takes very seriously and the Ledgers were pleased to maintain ownership of the prize. “It’s what we prepare for all season,” Colin Ahern said. “We share a rink, our locker rooms are right next to each other. So it’s fun to beat them.”
