Game Summary
Coming off three straight losses, the Hoggers looked to get back on the right track on Wednesday at Salisbury. Although the Crimson Knights always have a talented team, NMH won the matchup last year, and this year's Hogger squad had more confidence than usual headed into this game. Things looked promising at the start as NMH jumped out to early leads of 3-0 and 5-3, but Salisbury closed the gap to tie the score 5-5 at halftime. The second half was a different game as the Crimson Knights outscored the Hoggers 13-1 down the stretch, eventually winning by the final score of 18-6.
Leading the way offensively for NMH were Christian Heidelberger '14 (Westwood, MA) and Briton Barge '14 (Larkspur, CA), who each scored two goals. In net, David Winsor '15 (Boulder, CO) made 12 saves despite facing a barrage of shots.
