The Vipers lost their first game in their last 10 tries as they came up short against a very talented VJW Elite team 4-3. The Vipers jumped out to a 2-0 lead early as Noah Maercklein jammed in a goal mouth scramble just 45 seconds into the game, assists went to Ryan Connearney And JT Chamberlain. Kyle Lynch would put the visitors up 2-0 late in the first with an off angle shot that found the back of the net, goal was set up and assisted by Dante Maribito with some pesky forechecking. The Warriors would score 2 pretty goals in the first 2 minutes of the second to tie and go on to control the second period but it would end 2-2. The Warriors cashed in on their only power play of the game to go ahead 3-2 and then with just under 3 minutes to play cashed in again to make it 4-2. The resilient Vipers would not go away though as a minute later they answered the bell when Kyle Lynch picked up his second of the game crashing hard to the net and knocking in a rebound of a Maribito shot, Kyle Hentosh also assisted on the play. The Vipers managed to pull their goalie put could not mount much of an attack in the last 45 seconds.
