Albany High School's Alexander Doehla and Matt Trippany have helped the Mohawks hockey team advance to the quarterfinals of the Capital District High School Hockey League playoffs.
Doehla, a junior (pictured at right from a game earlier this season), made 22 saves to help the Mohawks to a 6-3 first-round win over Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake/Ballston Spa on Monday. Trippany, a senior (pictured below), contributed an assist as the Mohawks won their fourth straight and their fifth in the last six games overall.
The Mohawks (8-13) now take on Shenendehowa (12-7-1) in the quarterfinals Wednesday at Clifton Park Arena. Faceoff is at 3 p.m. The Mohawks dropped a tough 4-2 decision at Shen on Jan. 5; Doehla had 54 saves in that game.
Doehla led the CDHSHL during the regular season in both save percentage (.906) and goals-against average (2.65). He recently was named a second-team Section 2 all-star.
The Mohawks are comprised of student-athletes from Albany High, Niskayuna, Amserdam and Schenectady.
