Senior Zach Skowronek had four goals and an assist to lead Algonquin (4-5) to a 9-8 win over Westfield in a non-league game on Tuesday.

Matt Cannon added three goals and an assist while sophomore Jonah Whitt made 18 saves in net as Algonquin held a 5-1 halftime lead and then hung on for the victory.

It was a huge win, Algonquin coach Matt Nofsinger said. We went into it with a playoff mentality, that it was a must-win for us, and the kids responded and stepped up to the challenge.

Westfield, I feel, is one of the top Western Mass. teams. It was a double-overtime win (we had over them) last year and we knew it was going to be a tough game and it was but we were able to hold them off.

After the Tomahawks held a 7-4 lead over Acton-Boxborough on Sunday and lost 12-8, Algonquin was happy to not see leads in two straight games slip away.

We just had to continue to play a full 48 minutes and string it all together, Nofsinger said. But we still have a lot of work to do.

Algonquin travels to Shrewsbury Thursday for a 4 p.m. start.
