The Nichols Prep team opened its season with an important league game against Appleby College and skated away with a 3-2 victory. All three goals were scored by the three captains. James Randaccio started the scoring with a breakaway goal set up by Charlie Stein early in the first period. Matt Benedict scored on a goalmouth scramble in the second with assists going to Ryan Stayner and Kevin Kirisits. Appleby closed the gap when Dan Poliziani scored on the power play.
Appleby came out hungry in the third and tied the game on a Conor McGlynn goal with 13 minutes remaining. Both team traded chances, but Charlie Stein was able to poke a rebound past Appleby goaltender Aleks Pike with 6:29 remaining in the game. From that point on, Nichols was able to shut the door and hold on to for the victory. Brandon Mueller was strong in net making 24 saves for the win.
Nichols will be traveling to Sheffield, MA on Nov. 29 for the Berkshire School jamboree. Game 1 will be against Pomfret at 9:30am with game 2 taking place at 2:00 against Brunswick. Nichols will play its next league game on December 3 at St. Michael's College in Toronto, ON.
