The 15th ranked team in the country, Endicott College, came into Biddeford and stormed over the Nor'easters 12-4 in yesterday's contest. UNE was able to keep it close with some great defense towards the end of the second quarter, and headed into halftime trailing 6-2. However, the Gulls came out firing on all cylinders in the third period meeting the back of the net five consecutive times to put the game out of reach. The Blue and White were able to notch one in each period, but it would not be enough to take down the TCCC powerhouse. Steve Smith, Mike Woods, Luke Difiore, and Dylan Thomas each scored for UNE, with Thomas leading the way with three total points.
Despite a loss, the Nor'easters showed some promising improvement again yesterday. First-year goaltender, Nate Porter, had his second strong start in a row, making ten stops throughout the game. UNE also squandered four Endicott extra man opportunities and forced the Gulls to shoot often from deep.
This game showed the vast improvement a year makes for the Nor'easters; last year's game against Endicott ended in a 23-3 bloodbath. UNE will travel to play another top team in the conference, Roger Williams, tomorrow at 3:30pm.
