FOXBORO - Clint Gallagher stopped all 26 shots he faced for the shutout, backstopping the Lancers to the non-league win.
"His game was tremendous. He really kept us in the game in the first and second periods, the first period especially, when we were sloppy," said Norton coach Kyle Heagney.
Defenseman Matt Loranger scored for Norton with 4:25 left in the first period, a shot from the point with assists to Maverick Dosreis and Bobby Trudeau. That was all the scoring until the last five minutes of the game as the two teams traded chances in the second and third periods.
Brian Cronin finally tacked on an insurance goal for Norton with 4:33 to play, knocking in a rebound of a shot by eighth-grader John Giguere. Then, with just 1:52 to play and Norton on the power-play, Trudeau ripped home a point shot after a feed from Jake Palin.
Aside from Gallagher's play in net, Heagney also noted the defensive work of Loranger.
