BOX SCORE

SALEM, Mass. - Nick Lampson (Groton, MA) notched a pair of third period goals to lift the Salem State University Vikings to a 4-1 victory over the Babson Beavers on Friday afternoon at Rockett Arena.

Lampson, who scored his seventh and eighth goals of the season, now leads  the conference with three game-winning goals.

James Lacour (Silver, Spring, MD) stopped fourteen of fifteen Babson shots to earn his third win. Sophomore Zeke Testa (Wellesley, MA) turned away twenty-two of the Vikings' twenty-six shots on goal in the loss. The Beavers' record now stands at 4-5-0 on the year.

Babson's PT Donato (Arlington, MA) found the back of the net first at 14:13 in the first period after taking a feed from Matt Furey (Quincy, MA). The goal gave Babson a 1-0 lead until the opening minutes of the final period.

Lampson broke the Vikings goal drought at the 1:31 mark of the third period when he made a backhanded swipe at a Kyle Phelan (Barnstable, MA) rebound that edged past the outstretched skate of Testa.  A few moments later deep in Beaver territory, Ian Flanagan (New Hampton, NH) relentlessly battled against the boards for possession of the puck.  Flanagan won the battle and served up Lampson for the go-ahead goal. 

At 12:08 Giancarlo Capodanno (Mountainside, NJ) added an insurance goal after taking a pass down low from Michael Genovese (Hingham, MA).  Capodanno's stick took the puck into the corner of the goal to find light behind Testa for the third Vikings goal.  Capodanno returned the favor at 15:11 with a pass from the end boards that Genovese buried behind the Babson net-minder to close out the game at 4-1.
