seconds remaining in regulation to defeat East Providence on
Saturday night at West Warwick and remain unbeaten in Division III
competition. The Townies fell behind 2-0 but knotted the
score at two half way through the second period on a Mitch Palumbo
slap shot that deflected its way past Viking goal tender Redmond
Brow. James Hall tied the score at one earlier in the period
with a penalty shot goal that beat Brow on the glove side.
As was the case during the two teams' first meeting of the season,
the Townies held territorial advantage for most of the night but

opportunities, East Providence could not find the back of the net
and suffered its worse loss of the season to last place West

Rogers 2 East Providence 0
Vikings remain unbeaten as Townie win
streak is halted at six
With eighteen seconds remaining in
regulation it appeared as though East Providence had tied the game
at one on a Mitch Palumbo slap shot from the blue line.
However, appearances can be deceiving and the referee waived off
the goal as a result of a Townie player being in the crease.
Replays showed no Townie within the crease area and six seconds
later Rogers put the icing on the cake with an empty netter and
defeated East Providence 2-0 at St. George's School on Sunday
night. The Townies carried the play for most of the night
against the 8-0 Vikings but they could not break through against

shots.

Medeiros, Mitch Palumbo, and Ryan Barry all picked up assists as

to 6-2-1 in league play. Nick Costello was once again
tremendous on the penalty kill and freshman goaltender Eric

goals as East Providence came back three times from one goal
deficits. James Hall's nifty goal, with assists from Medeiros and
goaltender Eric Allienello, with 2:33 left in the third tied it
for the Townies and North Smithfield fought off a late game flurry
and an overtime dominated by East Providence (shots were 36-20 in
favor of EP) to escape with a tie. Kyle Walmsley, Ryan
Barry, and Scott Lincoln all had assists and Allienello was solid
between the pipes as the Townies go to 2-2-1 in league

2009-2010 SEASON PREVIEW
The Townies will try and build upon last season's 9-8-1
campaign and they are poised to do so with a nice combination of
seasoned veterans and some high impact newcomers.
Senior co-captain Scott Lincoln leads a talented group of forwards
that includes nifty junior right wing James Hall and junior grinder D.J. Donahue, as well as talented LaSalle Academy transfer Trevor
Medeiros (junior) and slick sophomore left wing Ryan Barry.
Junior center Peter Saunders is counted upon to have a breakout
year and freshman center Kevin Hall should provide some speed and
depth up front. Kyle Walmsley continues to improve and should log
some key minutes on a checking line that will include experienced
juniors Josh Rocha, Nick Costello, and Dylan Fortin. Rocha
could provide some depth on the blue line as well and give the
Townies a versatile swing man with size. Senior Neil Bothelo will
try to crack the lineup after an injury riddled junior season and
juniors Matt Moss and Alec D'Amico, as well as sophomore Keith
Marquis, will provide the Townies with depth they have not had
since the championship season of 2005.
Senior co-captain Mitch Palumbo anchors a defensive corps that
should not only provide solid defensive zone protection, but make
a major contribution to the Townie offense. Palumbo is
joined on the blue line by freshman Paul Lukas who will make an
immediate impact on the Townie lineup by providing solid puck
control skills and a quarterback-like mentality on the blue line.
Senior defenseman Rodger Lincoln provides the Townies with a
gritty, heads-up style and junior Harrison Jones is a quality
skater and passer who is expected to have a standout season.
Physical sophomore Matt Hall and talented freshman Matt Taylor
will provide blue line depth for the Townies.
There will be good competition in goal this season with seniors
Emily Klucznik and Shane Labao competing with junior John Andrews
and freshman Eric Allienello. Klucznik enters the year with the
most experience and she remains a very good one on one goaltender.
Labao has improved drastically after an erratic junior season and
Andrews showed some positive signs when he got his chances last
year. Allienello possesses the most athleticism of the bunch
and will push the upper classmen for playing time.
Barring injury the Townies should enjoy a winning winter and a
playoff appearance.
