Hockey falls short in season-ending national tournament"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><strong>By Jake Courtepatte<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The St. Andrew\u2019s Saints fell a goal short of reaching their second varsity title game in two weeks, after a heartbreaking 4 \u2013 3 overtime loss to Stanstead College in last weekend\u2019s National Independent School Championship.<br \/>\nSharing hosting duties with Toronto\u2019s Upper Canada College, twelve prep programs from across Canada descended on the on-campus LaBrier Arena for the final tournament of the season.<br \/>\nThe varsity Saints cruised through New Brunswick\u2019s Rothesay Netherwood School in preliminary play before a hard-fought 7 \u2013 6 overtime win over Ulysse Prep, setting up a date with the also-perfect Bishop\u2019s College School of Quebec.<br \/>\nA 5 \u2013 3 win, led by a three-point effort from Matthew Steinburg, paved a path to Saturday\u2019s semifinal against Stanstead College.<br \/>\nThe hometown Saints got on the board first when Ian MacLean finished off a nifty deke around the defender by Matthew McKim in close, though Stanstead evened it up early in the second period.<br \/>\nThey took their first lead of the game in beating Aidan Hosein midway through the third period, though with St. Andrew\u2019s pressuring and only a few minutes on the clock, MacLean found the back of the net again on a delayed penalty call.<br \/>\nFour-on-four overtime saw chances at both ends, though it took a fifth period to decide the outcome when a bad bounce off the boards led to a Stanstead winner and a caught-off-guard Hosein.<br \/>\nUpper Canada College, the recent runners-up to the Saints in the CISAA divisional championship, took the title match 4 \u2013 3 over Stanstead.<br \/>\nSt. Andrew\u2019s last won the tournament in 2016, defeating division rival Ridley College.<\/p>\n<a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24
