After falling behind 3-1, North Reading (0-2) ran out of time trying to catch up to a more experienced Knights squad. "I thought we came out slow and we paid the price," said North Reading coach John Giuliotti. "We're still the victim of a bunch of kids that are young." A phenomenal goal by Billy Sexton in the third period brought the Hornets within one, but Knights' sophomore Jake Silk was not to be denied on this occasion.
