Matthew Stienberg, Jack Agnew, Matthew McKim, Brendan Bowie, and Mark Hillier notched a goal each.<br \/>\nSaturday\u2019s matchup didn\u2019t get any easier, with the red and white up against Culver, the top-ranked team in American Independent Prep rankings. Down 4 \u2013 0 late in the second period, Hillier scored the only St. Andrew\u2019s goal of the game on a nice one-on-one deke to get around the final defenseman, waiting out the Culver goalie for a final score of 4 \u2013 1.<br \/>\nThey wrapped up Sunday with a 4 \u2013 4 tie with Victory Honda, Steinburg leading the way with a pair of goals, while Andrew Boland and Evan Brisley added singles.<br \/>\nCISAA regular season action resumes for the Saints on January  17 against Upper Canada College, where the Saints hold a 5-1-0 record good for second place.<br \/>\nThe varsity B team also prepares to host the annual Gary West Hockey Tournament at La Brier this weekend, which has grown to eight teams in its second year. The puck drops at 7:30 Friday evening on teams from Ontario, Quebec, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n<a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24
