Essex Junction, Vt. — The defending VPA Division II state champion Woodstock High boys hockey team saw a 32-game unbeaten streak come to an end on Saturday night in a 4-1 loss to Mount Mansfield at the Essex Skating Facility.

The Wasps (7-1-2) hadn’t lost since a first-round ouster from the VPA D-I state tournament against Middlebury on March 1, 2017. The unbeaten streak included last year’s 22-0-1 championship run along with a nine-game streak to open the current campaign.

Field Willis scored on a Trevor White pass to give Woodstock a 1-0 lead after one period. The Cougars (5-3-1) charged back in the middle stanza, scoring three times off Woodstock turnovers. MMU added an empty-netter for the final margin of victory.

The Wasps, who owned a 23-19 edge in shots on goal, host Hartford on Wednesday at Union Arena.
