Parma, OH – On Saturday, October 6th the Padua Bruins took on the Buckeye Bucks at home for senior night. The Bruins came into this game red hot, coming off of a five game winning streak. For the Buckeyes, it would be the opposite. They came into this game after losing their prior four games.
As the game began, the Bruins were off to a hot start and didn’t let up. Four different players chipped in for the Bruins in their big win. Three different Seniors were able to score on senior night. Garrett Nowicki finished with four goals, Caleb Zolkowski finished with two, and Kevin Ontaneda had one. Junior Eli Christine chipped in with two goals as well. It was just pure domination for 80-minutes for the Bruins as they walked away with a 9-0 win on senior night.
Following the big win I talked to Senior Gabe Leigh. I asked Leigh how it felt to get a big win on senior night and he told me, “It felt great to walk home with the win, and to help us moving forward and bettering our record.” I also talked to Kevin Ontaneda about what it meant to the seniors to get such a big win on senior night. I also asked him what this win means going forward and he said, “It meant a lot because our coach was pretty nervous going into this game, because he wanted that game to be one of the best days of our lives with it being senior night. We showed why we are a good team. It felt great for us seniors to just keep the streak alive, and continuing to keep it alive going into the playoffs. So it just felt great.” Ontaneda also wanted to give a shoutout to all the coaches and parents for making senior night great.
