Pinkerton coach Casey Kesselring wasn't sure revenge was the right word, but there was no question his team's win yesterday was a little extra special.

One season after Londonderry shocked then-No. 2 seed Pinkerton in the Division 1 quarterfinals, the top-seeded Astros earned that revenge on their Mack Plaque rivals with a 6-3 victory over the No. 8 Lancers, once again in the Division 1 quarterfinals.

Steve Devereaux fired a shot that was saved, but he batted in the rebound while sliding on his stomach for the game-winning goal with 1:30 to go in regulation as Londonderry bested Nashua South 6-5. Brian Greene had a hat trick for the Lancers.

Zach Sanford netted four goals for the first time in his varsity hockey career to lead Pinkerton to a 4-3 win over Londonderry.

SALEM – Maybe it’s fitting for a match that featured an empty-net, own goal – in the second period, no less – to end in a tie.

Londonderry got out to a fast 2-0 start on its way to clipping Salem 5-2. Mike Bears had two goals and two assists for the Lancers.

Mitchell Schirch was solid in the Londonderry net, denying any of Bishop Guertin's 20 shots from passing him in a 6-0 victory. Mike Bears notched a hat trick in the win.

If not for the other-worldly play of freshman goalie Connor Simpson, Londonderry could have easily blown out Bow, but the Lancers converted enough to win 4-2 and make the Capital City Classic finals tonight against Dover. Senior Stephen Devereaux continued to excel as Londonderry's "best, most consistent two-way player" according to coach Peter Bedford.

Londonderry's first line of Brian Greene (hat trick and two assists), Mike Bears (goal and three assists) and Sam MacNicholl (goal and assist) stepped up big-time in a 7-1 Concord Holiday Tourney win over Lebanon.

With an electric atmosphere charged up by the 500-plus fans in Hooksett's Ice Den, Pinkerton surged to a 6-1 lead then held on to beat rival Londonderry, 8-4. Steve Devereaux (two goals) sparked a three-goal third-period Lancer run to draw close, but sophomore Brendan Phillipon's third of four goals locked up the win.
