Burrillville, R.I. (November 24) -- Brennen Shaw (Presque Isle, Maine/Brewster Academy) scored his second goal of the season in a 2-1 loss to Worcester State on Saturday evening.

Worcester State (1-6-0) is slated to play the Becker in a rematch of the inaugural Worcester City Shootout at 3:10 p.m. on Sunday. Assumption (1-8-0) will compete in the consolation game against host Nichols at 12:10 p.m. Both matchups will be played at Levy Rink in Burrillville, R.I. 

Matsen put the Lancers ahead 1-0 at the 14:59 mark, as he buried a rebound that caromed off the right pad of the netminder off a shot originally taken by classmate Mike Leskun. Rookie Joe White also received credit on the play. Each team took nine shots on goal in the penalty-free stanza.

The second period saw the Greyhounds outshot the Lancers 13-6 while Assumption went 0-for-2 on the power play.

Shaw then tied up the contest for Assumption off a shot from Keven Meehan (Melrose, Mass./Austin Prep) at 9:24 in the third period. Meehan carried the puck into the zone, took a wrist shot off the right pad of the goaltender as the puck trickled to Shaw who then stuffed it in the bottom right corner of the cage. Then about three minutes later, the Lancers reclaimed the lead as Brier received the puck from junior Jordan Roberts and wrapped it around the net before finishing the play by burying the puck in the net.

Assumption junior Bobby Bowden (Springfield, Mass./Williston Northampton) suffered the loss and falls to 1-5-0, as he faced 21 shots. Salvatore Tecci turned away 30 of 31 shots taken by the Greyhounds in his first start for the Blue and Gold.
