On Wednesday night, the MTA Varsity Hockey Lions traveled to Mamaroneck to play the Westchester Wolverines. It was a gloomy, rainy night, and the Lions knew they would need an extremely inspirational speech to have but a slim chance at victory against the mighty Westchester team. Fortunately, Yehuda Benscher ‘16 was able to come through and delivered a resounding oration that put the Lions in prime position for victory.

The Lions dominated both sides of the court for the entire game. Seven players stood out. Together they scored en route to a 9-0 MTA victory: Yosef Stern ‘16, Rami Nordlicht ‘16, Ari Hagler ‘16, Yehuda “It’s About Time” Alter ‘16, Zachary “NOT Jeremy” Borgen ‘17, Josh Appel ‘17 and Yossi Mandlebaum ‘17. Goaltenders Max Herskowitz ‘17 and Jacob Boim ‘17 performed a combined shutout. Defenseman Tani Rosenthal ‘17 performed his first de facto goal of the season.

The Lions look to continue their winning streak when they play the JEC Thunder on January 6.
