The (Amity-North Haven-Cheshire) Blades played an Away game against Masuk at the Sports Center of CT Rinks on Sunday, Feb. 21.

This showed on the scoreboard.

Third Period

Fitol scored her second goal 2:46 into the third period off an assist from Avery DePodesta.

The Blades retained their 4 point lead and it looked like it was going to be a shut-out until the last 30 seconds of the game.
