Sunday, October 30, 2011, 1:37PM

Using a 3 goal first period and scoring from all 3 lines the Vipers continued their strong play in defeating the talented Seacoast Spartans 5-2. Kyle Hentosh (1-1-2) Evan Daddario and Braden Haley (2-0-2) would all tally first period goals as the Vipers came out with to much energy and intensity for the Spartans to handle. The Vipers were also helped along by a strong performance between the pipes turned in by Aaron McDonnell as he would stop 2 breakaways and make a few other quality stops when the game was close. The Spartans would push back at the beginning of the second to cut the lead to 3-1 and control the first half of the second period. Braden Haley would deliver the knockout punch as he would capitalize on a fine pass from Brendan WHite (0-2-2) and bang home his second of the night with just 2 minutes left in the second period. The Spartans would again cut the lead to 2 5 minutes into the third, but the Vipers would then capitalize on the power play as Dante Maribito from high in the slot would fine the back of the net after a nice feed from Kyle Lynch. Dom Cappadona and Aaron Dollin would also pick up helpers from the blueline as the defenseman would all play a string game in this one. Ryan Connearney and Patrick McCarthy (+3) both turned in solid efforts and Steven Tettoni and Christian Kukas did a fine job playing shutdown defense
