The red hot Beacons pulled off a huge 5-3 win over Fitchburg on Thursday. The guys have won 4 straight to start the season for the first time in 6 years. Stefanos Galouzis was huge once again with 2 goals. Douglas Silviera scored the dagger to give the Beacons a 2 goal lead in the 66th minute. In total the Beacons spread the ball around well, with 4 different goal scorers getting in on the action. Their match against Keene State on Saturday didn’t go as well.

The Beacons were also stout defensively, only allowing three shots from the Bears the whole match. The next match was Saturday at Keene State.

It has been a week of intense practice for the Lady Beacons on the brand new temporary gym floor. They had a great showing last week at the Endicott Invitational, where they only dropped two sets in 4 matches. This dominant performance pushed the team up 3 spots to #19 in the national rankings. The only action they saw this week was against Eastern Connecticut, where they got the easy win 3 sets to none. The ladies are now looking ahead to the beginning of their home schedule against Trinity on Tuesday.
