(Nashua, N.H.) The Raiders continue their unbeaten streak after dropping the Vikings today 14-3.
The first 5 minutes proved to be deceptive as the two teams exchanged 2 goals. The first goal of the match was credited to senior Colby Larsen (Windham, N.H.) three minutes into the game. Vikings immediately retaliated with a man up goal, scored by freshman Anthony Dalbon (Ashburnham, Mass.) to even the score.
However, senior Chris Pennie (Wilmington, Mass.) responded with 2 more goals assisted by freshman Nick Ackerman (Durham, N.H.) and senior Rob Fullerton (Wilmington, Mass.). Pennies two goals helped the Raiders pull away from that tie.
Sophomore Dylan McSparren (Warwick, R.I.) and senior Eric Guinasso (Pelham, N.H.) both scored in man up situtations and Larsen was able to sneak one more goal. However it was Vikings freshman, Tyler Morris (Billerica, Mass.) who closed the period out with a goal off of a turnover caused by freshman Anthony Dalbon (Ashburnham, Mass.).
The two programs went back in forth in the second period. While the Vikings out shot the Raiders 12-6.
