Triton (6-4-7) clinched a state tournament berth with the victory. Amesbury coach Brett Manoloff felt the Vikings defense was the key.

 Justin Paquette had two goals, Evan Schwartz had a goal, Collin Smith had an assist, and Ed Hargreaves had an assist for the Vikings.

Eddie Hargreaves had two goals for Triton (5-3-7). Matt McWeeney had the game-winner. Justin Paquette added a goal and an assist. Evan Schwarz had three assists. Colin Smith added one.

Recently called up from the JV team, Matt McWeeney provided a huge lift for Triton scoring both goals to tie a talented Hamilton-Wenham team, 2-2.

McWeeney scored the game-tying goal with less than 10 minutes left after Ed Hargreaves recieved a Justin Paquette cross and then put the ball back across the face of goal where McWeeney tapped it home.

Suffering from a lot of the bumps and bruises of a long season to many of its key players, Triton had to make several lineup changes heading into a big match against North Andover. The moves paid off as coach Brad Smith said his team played its most consistent, hard-nosed game of the season in a huge tie, 0-0.

The Vikings (3-5-4) led 1-0 for most of the game but surrendered the tying goal late in the second half. Sophomore midfielder Shaffy Roell scored early in the first half on a header, after a nice cross from junior striker Michael Emerson. Rockport defenders A.J. Burnham, Ethan Clarkson and Brendan Douglass all played well while midfielders Ben Clarkson and Kevin Corrigan were other notables.

Nick Cross deposited a first-half goal for Triton (4-1-3) on an assist from a corner kick from Nate Shelter. Evan Schwarz added a second-half goal assisted by Justin Paquette.
