WEEKLY LEAGUE REVIEW

South East Division - Week of January 18th, 2010

Taunton narrowly escapes Fall river, Nauset back in 1st

Team Final Score Taunton 2 Fall River 1

On January 9th, Taunton faced Fall River in a matchup between the bottom two teams in the league. It would’ve been hard to argue that this was a high-profile game, but it turned out to be one of the most exciting games of the season thus far. All the scoring took place in the second period with Fall River scoring first and Taunton striking back. Michael Smith’s goal, with just under a minute left in the second period, gave Taunton a lead it would not relinquish. Alec Wise scored Taunton’s other goal, while Jacob Ferreira  notched Fall River's lone goal.

 

Team Final Score New Bedford 5 NEHI 2

New Bedford and NEHI met on January 9th and both teams put forth a spirited effort, proving just how vital each point is in the standings. Quin Indio and Max Suave did all the goal-scoring for New Bedford and it was Indio’s second that served as the game-winner. Cam MacDonald continued his sensational season with two more goals for NEHI. MacDonald’s two goals gave NEHI a brief lead in the second, but three late New Bedford goals in that period turned the momentum around.

 

Team Final Score Lakeville/Freetown 9 Dartmouth 5

Lakeville/Freetown made a clear statement that the winner of this league must go through them at some point. They easily dispatched a strong Dartmouth team 9-5 on January 9th.  It didn’t look that easy in the beginning as both teams found the back of the net three times in the first period. However, Derek Clancy and Co., kept the scoring going and added four more in the second and two in the third. Drew Sylvia had an outstanding performance for Dartmouth in a losing effort with one goal and three assists.

 

Team Final Score Nauset 7 NEHI 0

Nauset, which had led the league all season, saw themselves fall behind, but they were determined to climb right back on top and it started with their game on January 16th against NEHI. Coach Roger Peterson had his team ready and they scored three times in the first period to jump out to an early 3-0 lead.  NEHI battled hard, but they could not solve Nauset’s goaltender or their defense at any point in this game. Nauset added two more goals in each of the last two periods and went on to an easy, 7-0 victory. Joe Peterson had two goals and two assists, while teammate Kenny Keyes had two goals for the victors.

Note: Lakeville/Freetown's matchup with Fall River on January 16th ended in a forfeit with Lakeville/Freetown earning the two points.
