EZ SU HOCKEY Semin, Fleischmann lift Caps to win capitals from D1
men for all but 5 minutes 23 seconds of the contest. Semin’s third goal, which gave
the Capitals their first lead of the game at 3-2, came on a nifty backhand one-timer off a pass from Mathieu Perreault in the slot. Perreault, playing in his first game of the season, had another assist on Washington’s second goal and finished with a plus-3 rating. For his second goal, which lev-
eled the game at 2, Semin bar- reled toward the Atlanta net dur- ing a delayed penalty call on Ron Hainsey for pulling down Per- reault on a partial breakaway. Semin jumped over the bodies on the ice, scooped up the loose puck in the crease and fired it into the yawning cage. His first goal — a slap shot from the right-side boards — came just 38 seconds into the second period and tied the game at 1. The Thrashers (3-4-1) took a
1-0 lead with 58 seconds remain- ing in the first period on a goal by AndrewLadd, the second straight game in which the Capitals al- lowed a power-play goal in the finalminuteof a previously score- less period. Neuvirth gave up a large reboundona shot by Antho- ny Stewart from the right faceoff circle, and Ladd was able to get twowhacks at the puck, knocking it underNeuvirth’s pads. Washington tied the game up
quickly enough, however, with Semin’s first goal of the night. The tie was short-lived. Kane, unguarded on the doorstep, beat Neuvirth after receiving a nice feed pass from Rich Peverley be- hind the net just 11 seconds after the Capitals killed off Atlanta’s third power play of the night. The goal gave the Thrashers a 2-1 lead with more than 15 minutes re- maining in the second. Washington earned its first
power play of the contest midway through the second period thanks to an interference call on Thrash- ers center Jim Slater. With Mike Green—who took the ice only on power plays — on the point, the

Callahan powers Flint Hill past Maret
BY JAMESWAGNER It has been 1,807 days since
Flint Hill lost a game in the Mid-Atlantic Conference. It’s a streak in which Flint Hill play- ers take no small amount of pride. Breaking the four-year- plus streak would be tough for the Huskies to swallow. Said running back Alex Callahan, “As a senior, I don’t want to be that class that loses it.” After a slow start against
Maret on Saturday at Duke El- lington Field in the District, Callahan backed up his words with hard running to power the Huskies to a 35-12 win. Early on, it looked likeMaret

The best Ryba had ever finished in a postseasonracewas fifth. Andthentherewas themostly
flat terrain. Ryba said she runs her best when she’s coming up the side of amountain. In the end, though, none of
thosethingsmattered.Rybadev- astated the field, separating her- self from the competition with about a mile to go and winning by 27 seconds over junior team- mateAlexandraPhillips. Northwest seniorChrisMiller
wontheboys’ race, amuchtight- er affair, in15:37.31. Ryba’s expression didn’t
change throughout her entire race. The 16-year-old’s face was flushwithintensity andfocus all the way through the finish line. Only after her grandmother, who was visiting from England, gave her a firm congratulatory pat on the head and it was an- nouncedthatWhitmanhadwon the team title did Ryba show signs of joy, smiling andhugging her teammates. Northwest took second place,
followed by Wootton and Sher- wood. Whitman had the best girls’
team from top to bottom. The Vikings also won the freshman/ sophomore and junior/senior races. “I felt something inside me this morning,” longtime Whit-
manCoachSteveHays said, “and I knew today was going to be a magicalday.” The boys from Walter John-
son worked their own magic. Pacedbysecond-andthird-place finishers Alex Willett and Nick Regan, the Wildcats won their third straight county title over Churchill,SherwoodandQuince Orchard. “They pulled it together,” said
Walter JohnsonCoachTomMar- tin,whose teamhadbeenbeaten byChurchill twice inthe last two weeks. “They ranasaunit. Itwas awesome.” Nothing was more remark-
able thanthewayRyba executed her race.Ryba,AnnaBosse (Wal- ter Johnson) and Britt Ecker- strom (Northwest) jumped out to an early lead, but by the time Ryba hit the two-mile marker shewas all alone. “I was kind of like surprised,”
Ryba said. “Iwasn’t expecting to be bymyself.” Miller, on the other hand,
wasn’t expecting so much com- pany. “There were guys I hadn’t even heard of with me” at the beginning, he said. Two miles into the race,Willett, Regan and Jackson Reams (Sherwood) were all still gluedtohis back. Willett and Regan, running
side by side, threatened to catch and pass Miller with about 800 meters to go. ButMiller had one moregearleftandfounditonthe home stretch that led him aroundtennis courts anda base- ball field. He gradually pulled away for a five-second win over Willett and, while walking through the finishing chute, winced from the pain of that finalpush. “My legs were burning back
there, but I knew theirs were, too,”Miller said.

Daniel Alfredsson had his eighth
game up when he redirected the puck through amessof playerson top of the crease and pastMason, but the goal was washed out after video replay determined that the puck had been kicked in. In his first contest after missing the previous three contests with an upper-body injury, Green skated only 5:39. Before the opening faceoff Sat-
urday, the already battered Capi- tals received another injury blow. TheteamsaidgoaltenderSemyon Varlamov, who appeared in the past two games, is day-to-day with an undisclosed injury, just a week after he returned from a prior stint on the injured reserve list with a groin injury.Washing- ton recalled Dany Sabourin, who is 0-2-0 with a 3.08 goals against average and .824 save percentage
with the American Hockey League’sHershey Bears so far this season. Defenseman Tom Poti is also
listed as day-to-day with an un- disclosed injury and was scratched against Atlanta. Poti played in both games against the Bruins this week after missing the previous three contests with a lower-body injury. Rookie center Marcus Johansson missed the game as well with a hip flexor injury, butCoachBruceBoudreau expects him to be ready for the Capitals’ next game against the Hurricanes onWednesday in Car- olina. Matt Bradley (lower-body injury) and Boyd Gordon (undis- closed) have missed the past five and three games, respectively, and are both listed as day-to-day.

was going to challenge that 30- game winning streak. Behind some stout third-down defense and the playmaking of running back Sean Davis, the Frogs trailed Flint Hill, 7-6, after two quarters. And after one quick score for each team to start the third, Maret was again within striking distance , trailing 14-12, after Davis took a first-down handoff 80 yards for a touch- down. Two drives later, Callahan be-
gan to establish himself. Callah- an scored on a 10-yard run five minutes into the third quarter, set up by his 29-yard scamper. On the next Maret drive, Flint Hill sophomore defender Ben Kase picked off quarterback Matthew Appleby, setting up another Callahan score that put the Huskies (4-3, 3-0 MAC) in control. “Their quarterback, if he
looks to one side, he’s staying there,” Kase said. “So I saw his eyes and just jumped it.” “Just like everything, you go along in the game and your

vision starts to get better and yousee things thatweren’t there before,” Flint Hill Coach Mi- chael Wright said. “And you try to get up in the hole and not dance any way, shape or form. And I think in the second half Alex did a great job of trusting his instincts and getting up in the hole and letting the blockers do their thing.” Callahan finished with 162
yards and four touchdowns on 29 carries—with three of those scores coming in the second half. For the final minutes, the
Frogs (3-4, 0-2) were without perhaps their best player. On a 11-yard run near the end of the fourth quarter, Davis — who also plays wide receiver and defensive back—fell hard on to the football following an 11-yard run. Maret Coach Mike Engel- berg said the junior dislocated his collarbone and is done for the season. Davis finished with 147 yards and two touchdowns on15 carriesandcaught six balls for 52 yards. For theHuskies, knocking off
Maret onlymovesthemcloser to one of their season’s major goals: a fifth straight conference title. They have two games left on the schedule, one against a conference foe. The final game of the season is at Potomac School (6-0, 2-0), and the MAC crown could be on the line.
