Falmouth headed into the semi-finals of the Ingals Division playoffs after a rousing victory over rival Greely. Coach Paul expected the team might be a little slow out of the gate after beating their nemesis in the first round, but the Yachtsmen proved him wrong by coming out aggressively in the first period against Portland. Bailey Riddle put in the Yachtsmen's only goal in regulation with help from line-mates Martina St. Angelo and Sam Mildrum. The stingy Falmouth defense then tried to shut down the Portland attack the rest of the way, helped by a fantastic breakaway save from Ryan Bonnvie, but Portland managed to tie the game and force a decisive OT.

In the five on five and four on four match-ups neither team managed to get the upper hand. As the ice opened up in three on three Falmouth looked like they would emerge victorious, but a late penalty forced the Yachtsmen to play the start of the two on two with only one player. Alyse Bazinet and Bonnvie held off the Portland attack and Hogan Tracy nearly caught a breakaway pass that might have ended the game, but the game would go down to the one on one match-up. Deciding to go with the young but determined Chris Camelio, Coach Paul and Coach Nash were rewarded when Chris made roughly 78 dekes before netting the game winner and sending the bench into celebration.

The win could not have happened without a complete effort from every player on Falmouth's bench. Every skater put everything they had into the game and the late arrivals from the chorus concert blended seamlessly into the lineup, certainly contributing to the eventual victory with their presence. Coach Cronin had the only negative comment on the whole evening saying, "That has to be the dumbest way to decide a game I have ever seen."

Regardless, Falmouth won and will face Saco in the finals on Wednesday at Family Ice in a rematch of last year's Ingals championship. Here's hoping all our fans and parents can be there, go Yachtsmen!
