John Stark 1, Merrimack Valley 0

Key players: John Stark – Caylin Worthen (goal), Edie Fischer (2 saves); MV – Taylor Gionet (20 saves), Caroline Wheeler (defense), Zetta St. Onge (defense), Julia Michael (defense)

Highlights: The Generals scored in the first quarter and held on defensively the rest of the way. John Stark had a 12-4 advantage in corners.

Coaches’ quotes: “Our girls were very sluggish today. Good case of the Mondays, but we got away from team hockey today and need to fix that ASAP. MV played very hard and aggressive, especially in the defensive circle. Kudos to the Pride on an amazing effort today.” – John Stark’s Dennis Pelletier

“We did a solid job competing against a very talented John Stark team. Our goalie (Gionet) kept us in the game and we made some big stops defensively, but we were not able to generate the offense we needed today. If we keep playing hard and making smart decisions on the field good things will come.” – MV’s Jen Colgan

Records: John Stark 8-0-0; MV 3-3-2
