No. 4 Brookfield-Bethel-Danbury prevailed in the seventh round of a shootout to knock off top-seeded Lyman Hall/Haddam-Killingworth/Coginchaug in the second SCC/SWC Division III ice hockey semifinals Wednesday night at the Milford Ice Pavilion.

The upset denies Wallingford Round 3 of Sheehan and the Lyman Hall Co-op in Friday’s tournament final at Bennett Rink in West Haven. The No. 2 Titans advanced to the championship game earlier Wednesday night with a 6-2 semifinal victory over No. 3 Daniel Hand.

In the nightcap, the favored Trojans were playing catchup all night. BBD staked itself to a 2-0 lead before the Trojans got on the board in the second period on a power-play goal by T.J. Isleib.

BBD quickly answered that goal to take a 3-1 edge into the third period. There, Isleib scored his second goal on the night to bring the Trojans to within one. Kyle Roberts tied it with 7:33 left to play.

In the shootout, LH had the early advantage, but could not close out the victory.

“We’re competing every night,” said BBD coach Rusty Granacker. “I’m happy with their level of play; we compete no matter who the team we’re playing; it’s not always pretty but our guys never give up no matter what the score is.”
