THE BASICS:

• Date: Saturday, April 11, 2026

HOW IT HAPPENED

• MMA needed a bit of time to find its mojo as the Trailblazers kept the Mariners off the scoreboard the entire first half of the opening quarter. That streak came to an end seconds after the midpoint when Tobey Lappin (7:28 remaining in the 1^st quarter, assisted by Marcil) found his way through the defense. Trey Marcil (6:19, Walker) and Ryker Spear (5:12, unassisted) also scored in the first quarter. MCLA posted one goal before the clock expired on the opening frame when Keegan Covello (Woodstock, CT) (1:18, unassisted) put one in.
• The second and third quarters were all MMA as the Trailblazers would go more than 33 minutes between goals. In the second quarter alone, the Mariners posted four goals from Marcil (14:07 remaining in the second quarter, Lappin, & UP, 4:19, Lappin, & UP, 2:32, Parent, & 1:54, Lappin), three by Ryan Parent (13:53, unassisted, & UP, 13:04, Lappin, & UP, 4:25, Walker), two from Lappin (13:45, Parent, & 0:06, Parent) and one by Randall Walker (UP, 4:51, unassisted) to take a 13-1 lead into the break.
• Connor Harbey (10:43 remaining in the third quarter) opened the second half scoring before Parent (7:36, Lappin, & 5:31, Marcil) posted two more ahead of Tristan Reinhold (0:14, unassisted), closing out the third frame.
• MCLA returned to the score sheet in the fourth quarter, getting one goal each from Anthony Andolina (Ballston Spa, NY) (UP, 12:50 remaining in the fourth quarter), Carson Lewis (Barre, VT) (8:08, unassisted), Josh Hemstock (Amity, CT) (2:56, Lewis) and Chase Kranz (Leominster, MA) (0:24, Andolina).
