Next Up For Hornets Is Top-Seeded Danvers

If the North Reading boys' hockey team thought beating Essex Tech was tough, wait until Wednesday night.

Coming off a 4-3 double overtime win over Essex, the Hornets will take on the top seed in the Division 2 North tournament, Danvers (15-4-1). The puck drops at 6 p.m. at the Stoneham Arena on Montvale Ave.

Against Essex Monday, Stephen Robishaw was the hero, scoring an unassisted goal to propel North Reading (10-8-3) into the first round and a matchup with the Falcons. Dare to look ahead? The winner of Wednesday's game advances to the quarterfinals against the winner of the North Andover vs. Gloucester contest.
