Team Final Score
Lakeville/Freetown 7
Nauset 2
  In their second game of the day, Lakeville/Freetown had to face a tough Nauset team that beat them soundly just two weeks prior to this game. However, Lakeville/Freetown turned the tide and was able to reverse their fortune with a huge 7-2 victory. Derek Clancy and Jason MacWilliam each had 2 goals for Lakeville/Freetown, while Joe Peterson did all the scoring for Nauset.


Team Final Score
New Bedford 6
Dartmouth 1
  League leaders New Bedford continued their hot streak easily handling a strong Dartmouth team, 6-1. Led by their dynamic duo of Quin Indio and Luc Suave, New Bedford stormed out to a six goal lead before Dartmouth snapped the shut out late in the third period. Both Indio and Suave had 3 points in this game.


Team Final Score
New Bedford 6
Lakeville/Freetown 5
  Justin Ferreira’s game winning goal with just over two minutes remaining gave New Bedford a 6-5 victory over Lakeville/Freetown, but more importantly, it clinched the regular season title and the first seed in the playoffs. The duo of Indio and Suave were at it again, only this game each player had 4 points. Nick Menzel almost single-handedly won this game for Lakeville/Freetown leading all scorers with 5 points (2g,3a), but unfortunately it was not enough.


Team Final Score
Dartmouth 6
Nauset 5
  This see-saw battle between two playoff bound teams went Dartmouth’s way in the end, but Nauset gave it everything they had, scoring 4 goals in the third period and almost took away a point. A second period hat trick by JD Ferreira gave Dartmouth just enough breathing room and Ryan Gaydou’s goal with just under 5 minutes remaining proved to be the game winner.


Note: Two other matchups were played after the Winter Break, Taunton vs. Nauset and Dartmouth vs. Lakeville/Freetown. Both games ended in forfeits with Taunton and Dartmouth receiving 2 points.
