Sunday, December 13, 2009, 5:00AM

The Vipers were looking to wrap up their incredible weekend which consisted of 4 games in 3 days in 3 different states in style as they took the ice against a very tough Spartan team. As expected the visitors came out very sluggish to start and found themselves down 1-0 early in the first period. Dante Maribito (2-0-2) from Kyle Lynch (0-1-1) and Kyle Hentosh (0-2-2) would tie the score at 1 just 30 seconds into the second period, just 16 seconds later Noah Maercklein (1-0-1) would knock one in with help from JT Chamberlain (1-1-2) and Brendan White (1-2-3) to go up 2-1. The Spartans would then score to even the score but then just 50 seconds later and with just 1 minute left in the second period Brendan White put the dagger in the Spartans as he jumped on a loose puck in front of the net and knocked in the shorthanded goal. Dante Maribito and JT Chamberlain would add the third period goals. The defense of Aaron Dollin, Matty Tauro, Alex DelVento, Christian Kukas and Greg McHale played a fine physical game on the blueline. Aaron McDonnell got the start and played well making a huge save on a breakaway when the game was tied at 2, that and Whitey's shorty were certainly the plays of the game. The Vipers finished the weekend up at an impressive 3-0-1, and have been 8-0-3 in their last 11 league games which has jumped them into second place of the NEHL.
