    Larsen scored on the power play from junior right wing PATRICK O’KANE (Hollis, NH/Bishop Guertin/Williston-Northampton) at 11:23 to make the score 3-0.
    The Penmen got on-the-board with eight seconds left in the period as sophomore forward CRAIG CARBONNEAU (Medford, MA) scored his first goal of the season.  Senior forward ADAM ZIEGLER (Medford, MA) and sophomore defenseman MICHAEL ROTONDI (Winchester, MA/Northampton) assisted.
    Each team scored twice in the middle period as sophomore KYLE ZOBLER (Millbury, MA/Millbury/New Hampton Prep) and freshman forward ROSS WHITE (Uxbridge, MA/Uxbridge/Winchendon School) each scored for the Ice Dogs, while senior forward WILLIAM TOOMEY (Reading, MA) and senior defenseman NEIL ADAMS (Gardner, MA/Middlesex School) scored for the Penmen.
    Fitzpatrick scored from Larsen and Glanzman which proved to the eventual game-winner on the power play at 6:21 of the third period.
    Junior goalkeeper NICK BLANCHETTE (Stuart, FL/Worcester Academy) made 31 saves for his third win.
