BOSTON - Senior captain and left wing Troy Parker converted a rebound of a Bobby Trudeau shot at 6:21 of the third period, the game-winning goal for the Lancers in the non-league game.
Norton (4-3-1) moved above .500 for the first time in program history, overcoming two scoreless periods and staving off a pair of East Boston power plays during the third period. Lancer goalie Tony Cerce totaled 23 saves, blanking East Boston in the first and third periods.
"It was a close, physical game, we had to fight for every inch," said Norton coach Kyle Heagney. Brendan Hayden scored the tying goal for the Lancers just 20 seconds into the third period with Cam and Bobby Trudeau assisting. The Lancers next have a non-league game at Foxboro Wednesday night at 8.
