San Jose Jr. Sharks 3, California Stars 2 (OT)
San Jose Jr. Sharks captured
the California State Championship with a dramatic 3-2 overtime victory over the
California Stars.
San Jose finished fourth and under the .500 mark in the California regular season. But the Junior Sharks clinched the final playoff spot into the California State Championships, and were able to reel off three wins for the State Championship.
After losing 2-1 to the LA
Jr. Kings in their opening game, the Junior Sharks found themselves needing to win
three straight games for the State Championship. And that’s just what they did.
They reeled off three straight wins, including a 5-3 win over the California
Stars, 3-2 victory over the California Titans, and they defeated the Stars again
in the finals 3-2 in overtime.
San Jose has been stellar in
2011, as they’ve posted a 13-2-1 record in the second half of the season and
lost only once in their last 15 contests. This recent accomplish accompanies
their NAPHL regular season championship. San Jose hopes to win the NAPHL
playoffs next weekend as they head into Troy, Michigan as the number 1 seed.
