Overtime was Nik Barbero Time for Ward Melville on Saturday.
The Team 91 2023 Bandits attackman and Siena signee capped off his hat trick with the game-winning goal in overtime to lead the Patriots past Connetquot, 10-9.
“I wanted to stick it to end the game,” Barbero told Newsday’s Dean Zulkofske. “That was the goal. I wanted it to end right there. The two guys cutting down the middle, they’re the priority. But them cutting down creates so much attention that leaves me open around the back. Once I got the right cut and saw (Stephen) Rosano come around, I just knew it was going to happen there.”
Barbero’s hat trick was his third in the past four games for Ward Melville. ’24 Wolfpack Zach Brittman (Iona) paired a goal with an assist in the win.
