BOURNE - Senior captain Troy Parker scored two goals and collected an assist as the Lancers (6-3-2) swept the season series with the Vikings and moved closer to an MIAA Tournament berth.
Backboned by the sterling play of goalie Triton DosReis (20 saves including foiling a breakaway bid on a potential game-tying second period goal), the Lancers scored a pair of second period goals and held off the Vikings with Parker scoring his second goal, an empty-netter with 21 seconds left.
Parker scored what proved to be the game-winning goal at 7:34 of the second period on a powerplay to build a 2-0 lead for Norton. The Lancers had taken the lead at 4:32 of that session when Parker (and Brandon Heayden) set up Bobby Trudeau for a power play goal.
The Vikings scored their lone goal on a power play in the eighth minute of the second period. "DosReis played the best game of his career," noted Norton coach Kyle Heagney of the key ingredient for the success. Norton needs three wins in order to advance into the MIAA Tournament, its next game being against East Boston Saturday evening at 8 in Foxboro
