After a North Reading icing, the puck was dropped to Hornet goalie Cam Alter’s left. Lynn eld center John Simonetti got the draw back to Tyler Scoppettu- olo at the right point. Scoppettuolo whipped it at the net and it was tipped in by Sam Pifko from just out- side the crease with 3:51 left in the overtime period, giving the Pioneers a hard-fought and well-earned victory at McVann-O’Keefe Rink. Lynn eld coach Jon Gardner said the Pioneers came into Saturday’s game knowing North Read- ing would make them earn everything they got. The Pioneers came away with one point for MIAA state tournament purposes and one point toward the CAL standings. Currently at the front of the pack in the CAL standings are the red-hot Masconomet Chief- tains who stand at 8-2 on the season, 6-0 in league action. Lynn eld (7-3-2, 3-1-1 in CAL games) still carries a ghting chance at catching the Chieftains, meaning every point goes a long way. “It goes in the books as one point for our overall Nicolette D’Itria record, and we get another one in the CAL, which we ITEM PHOTO | SPENSER HASAK scored 13 points in St. Mary’s win Saturday.
