Beekmantown Seniors Shine in 5-0 Senior Night Victory

When Beekmantown's six seniors took the ice Monday night for their final home celebration, they delivered a performance worthy of the occasion with a commanding 5-0 victory over Hanover.

Meegan Burdo and Amaya Abellard each scored twice for the Eagles, while Katie McCormick added another goal. Goalie Kori-Lynn Lamoy stopped all 21 shots she faced to secure the shutout in Plattsburgh, New York.

The win held special meaning because every single senior on the roster made their mark on the game. Whether scoring goals, setting up teammates with assists, or protecting the net, each player contributed to the team's success on their night.

"It was Senior Night tonight, and our seniors came to play," coach Al Ruest said after the game. "Every one of our six seniors got on the score sheet with a goal, assist or Lamoy stopping 21 shots for the shutout."

The Eagles maintained pressure throughout all three periods, scoring twice in the opening frame and adding insurance goals late in the game. Sophomore Ele Fullum also had a standout performance with two assists, showing how the team's younger players are stepping up to support their senior leaders.

Why This Inspires

High school senior nights represent more than just another game on the schedule. These moments celebrate years of early morning practices, weekend tournaments, and dedication to teammates who become family.

For these six Beekmantown seniors, their final home game became a collective achievement rather than an individual spotlight. Each player's contribution mattered, whether they scored the game's first goal or its last, whether they set up teammates or guarded the net.

Coach Ruest noted the team's growing strength with each passing game. "Our girls are really playing well as a team of late, and I believe we are getting stronger with every game," he said.

Their performance showed what happens when experience meets opportunity and when individual talents blend into team success. These seniors leave behind not just a victory, but a lesson in how sports can bring out the best in young athletes when they support each other.

As the final buzzer sounded on their Senior Night, these six players walked off the ice knowing they had given their home crowd a memory to treasure.
