The Vipers played what could have been their most complete game of the season in a 5-0 win in Exeter against the talented and very dangerous Spartans. The win locks up second place for the Vipers and gets them a first round bye in the playoffs. The Vipers would take a 1-0 lead into the first intermission as Ross Wahl (2-0-2)Â would pounce on a loose puck in front and deposit it far side for the pretty goal and the eventual game winner, Evan Daddario (0-2-2) and JT Chamberlain would add assists. Dante Maribito (1-1-2) from Kyle Hentosh would put the visitors out front 2-0 after 2. Nick Fiorentino would play a solid game between the pipes to keep this one close. The third period saw Noah Maercklein clean up a Steven Tettoni blast from the point on the Power Play for the 3-0 lead and then just 2 minutes later Kyle Lynch would push the lead to 4-0. Ross Wahl would cap a nice morning pouncing on another loose puck in the last minute for his second of the day. The Vipers used an intense forecheck to keep the Spartans hemmed in and in the D-Zone used an air tight team defense that limited the real scoring chances, and took full advantage of the iron as Nick was the beneficiary of a few posts. Christian Kukas and Steven Tettoni as well as the entire team played great team defense.
