We started off a bit flat footed in the first quarter and went down 3 to 0, but picked things up in the second quarter and didn't allow a goal. Nicky Iannaci netted two goals in the early part of the third quarter to bring us to within 1 goal. Malden went on to score twice more in the third to put the score at 5 to 2 at the end of the third. As we headed into the fourth quarter Malden started to slow the game by passing the ball around the outside. While we played good defense limiting them to only 1 goal we needed to be a bit more aggressive play being down 3 and then 4 goals. Andrew Farrell had another good game between the pipes only letting up 6 goals on 18 shots. Most improved game over game was Santino Garofalo who really stepped up his defensive play. While we didn't come away with a win the team improved significantly from the first game on their ground balls and team defense. The team started to put some of the offensive plays that we have been working on into play but there is still work that needs to be done.
