Natalie Sullivan (5 goals and an assist), Erin Curley (3 goals), Jen Rock (2 goals and 4 assists), Jill Gallagher (2 goals) Caitlyn Muller (2 goals), and Sara Nardone (2 goals) all contributed in a huge Triton (3-3) win over Manchester-Essex yesterday, winning their third straight game after losing the first three contests of the season.

Down 11-7 with only seven minutes to go in the game, coach Stacey Beaulieu said her Triton Vikings appeared to be in a candy coma after allowing four straight goals to start the half. However, the Vikings scored four straight unanswered goals including Julie Parker's (2 goals) game-tyer with 14 seconds left to send the game in overtime.

 After a difficult start to the season that included games against Masconomet and North Andover, Triton got a good confidence booster clobbering Gloucester, 16-5.

Sara Nardone had two goals and three assists, Erin Curley had two goals, Natalie Sullivan had one goal, Jen Rock had a goal and an assist, Emma Peditto had three goals, Kaitly Muller had a goal and an assist, Nicole LaBel had two goals, Jill Gallagher had a goal and an assist, Olivia Gallivan and had a goal for the Vikings. Elizabeth Benoit and Kristen Roberts each held down the fort in net with three saves.

Triton had a tough time scoring against North Andover's terrific goalie Stephanie Taylor, who had 13 saves. Coach Stacey Beaulieu said the Vikings played a great all-around game, but just could not find the scoring touch.

Stephanie Taylor had her best game of the young season, making 13 saves to lead North Andover past Triton, 13-3. Caroline Barclay led the way with three goals and an assist, and Emily Vento chipped in a hat trick.
