The '99 Vipers continued a great weekend with a win over the Boston Advantage. Luke Scaramozzino continued his consistent defense and added his first goal of the season.

The 99Vipers started off a successful weekend with a win over a much improved Seacoast Spartans team.   The line of Sal Costanzo, Michael Gillis and Rob Tibbetts provided the offense combined with great two-way play.   

True to form, the Vipers and Red Rangers played another great game.   The offense had plenty of pressure outshooting the Red Rangers for most the game.   The Vipers defense continues to be solid allowing just two goals in the last three games.  The defense is made up of three pairing – Greg McGunigle and Luke Scaromozzino, Mick Guanci and Bobby Pearl and Liam Brennan with Nico Scalli.  All three pairings get better each week.
