Saints Peter & Paul jumped all over the
Obezags in first half, dominating much of the action and rushing out to
a 2-0 lead on a pair of goals by John Mlynarski.  Key, however, set the
stage for its comeback as Julian Maldonado scored a rebound goal as
time expired in the first half.

The Sabres continued to pepper
shots on the Obezag goal in the second half, but several fantastic
saves by sophomore Jake Maldonado kept the game close.  Charlie
Flanagan took a Maldonado pass and scored for the Obezags with 15
minutes remaining.  The game remained tied through the end of
regulation and the first overtime.  In the second overtime, senior
Glenn Gambrell of Key took the ball down the wing and sent a beautiful
cross to Maldonado who scored his second goal of the game and clinched
the playoff birth for the Obezags.

With the win, Key pulled even
with St. Mary’s, the defending B Conference champ, for third-place in
Division I.  By virtue of a win and a tie against the Saints, who have
completed their league play, Key owns the tie-breaker and will proceed
to the playoffs.  The Obezags can move into second-place and host a
quarterfinal playoff game, on Friday, if it can upset Division II
winner Boys’ Latin, today, in the regular season finale.

If Key
wins today, it will host Glenelg Country on Friday, while AACS would
travel to Park.  If the Obezags lose, they would go to Park, and
Glenelg Country would go to AACS.

Next Tuesday, Boys’ Latin will
host the winner of the game involving Glenelg Country, in one
semifinal, while Severn, which is unbeaten in league play this year and
the top seed in Division I, will host the winner of the game involving
Park, also on Tuesday.
