Hockey

Patriots vs. Giants: Stevenson traveled to Northbrook Nov. 14 to skate against the Highland Park Giants in a Metro Conference Junior Varsity hockey game, and defeated the Giants by a 6-0 score. The Giants managed to keep the game close against the Patriots, 10-4 record, until late in the second period. The Patriots finished with more than 50 shots on net.

Stevenson's Marc Weiner scored the first goal with 16 seconds left in the first period when he took a faceoff at center ice and skated in alone to score the only goal of the period. Christian Wilhelm extended the lead to 2-0 just 14 seconds into the second period when he received a pass from Myles Lobus and tallied with a quick wrist shot into the upper righthand corner of the goal. The score remained close until the Patriots scored two quick goals -- first Weiner's second goal of the game with an assist to Wilhelm, followed by Justin One's goal to bring the score to 4-0. Brad Levinson and Jake Scott closed out the scoring with 2 goals in the third period.
