It was far from the dominating performance the Old Abes have had all season, but they held on for the 3-1 victory to advance to the state semifinal against either Superior or University School tomorrow at 7 p.m.
Nate Verbracken put the game out of reach with a one-timer that slipped past Janesville's David Jacobson with just 46.3 seconds remaining.
The Old Abes battled through eight penalties -- allowing just one power play goal to advance to the semifinal for the second consecutive year.
I'm heading down to talk with coach Schwengler and the boys but be sure to check back later for some more observations from the Alliant Energy Center. Also be sure to check out tomorrow's Leader-Telegram for an in-depth look at the Old Abes victory.
