The Spartans (7-3), who finished first in the Globe’s Division 4 Power Rankings (Watertown is third), started strongly. The store found Henaghan flying through a neutral zone with a stretch feed. The senior went to the race and hit his wrist shot under the glove of Raiders senior Jared Norton in just 25 seconds.

Henaghan whistled off in the third set, but collected the puck to find a fresh Jacob Minsk who fired a snap under the Norton blocker 2-1 lead. Henaghan joined Stora as the winner, turned from the top of the right circle and fired the feed farther into the post, which Stella guided just inside the left post to a beautifully executed game.

“He’s so talented,” Sacco said of Storella. “His intelligence is crazy. He makes the kids around him better because he pulls two or three guys to him, which leaves the guys open and he finds ways to get it to them. He has serious movements.”

The junior captain settled on the line of the game, making a sliding shot in the blast from the point with a playing time of one minute and 25 seconds. Storella has slippery movements with the puck and a hard, rough element due to her desire to win.
