Nashua, NH - Norwich (13-1-1) who holds the top seed in the Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) wasted little time and effort against the Rivier College Raiders (0-14-0) today as they defeated Rivier 8-0.

The starters for Norwich got things going early as they scored three goals in the first 10 minutes of play, and the team had seven goals before the half.  During the first half of play Norwich subbed out most of the starters, but Rivier still had no answer as eight different players scored the eight goals for Norwich.  Ryan Boyton (Dunedin, FL) led the Cadets by assisting on the first three goals scored and then scoring on the fifth goal of the contest.  Jason Bliss (St. Albans, VT) also had one goal and one assist.

Rivier goalkeeper John Jarvis (St. Albans, VT) once again made a number of remarkable saves, stopping 13 of the Cadets 21 shots on goal.
