Blackstone Valley Advances to Final After Dramatic Victory Over Portsmouth Blackstone Valley secured a hard-fought victory against Portsmouth on Wednesday evening, advancing to the Rhode Island 2nd Division semi-final final with a 3-2 win in two periods of overtime. The decisive moment came with just two minutes remaining in the second extra period, when Colin Dorgan scored the winning goal. The game unfolded after a tightly contested match, marked by several scoring opportunities for both teams. Portsmouth held a 2-1 lead late in the first period, but Blackstone Valley responded with a late equalizer. Despite a period of defensive pressure from Portsmouth, Blackstone Valley maintained their focus and ultimately secured the advantage. This victory holds particular significance for Dorgan, who experienced profound personal tragedy earlier this year. His team’s success follows the devastating shooting at an ice rink in Rhode Island in February, which resulted in the loss of three close relatives. The winning goal capped a remarkable performance for Dorgan and his team, demonstrating resilience and determination. Blackstone Valley will now compete in the final, marking a positive step forward following a challenging period. The game was photographed by T.J.
