Boys Hockey: Saugus’ late flurry upends Danvers

With just over three minutes to go, it looked like the Sachems were going to have another bitter pill to swallow but Mike Sarnicchiaro and Jimmy Alcott came to the rescue with goals 40 seconds apart to give Saugus a 2-1 win over Danvers.
?We really needed a big win like this,” Saugus coach Jeff Natalucci said. “We had a strong effort Saturday (in a loss to Winthrop) and wanted to build on it. We needed to come out and knock off one of these top teams to get some confidence.”
The game was scoreless until midway through the second when Troy Fleming gave Danvers a 1-0 lead with an unassisted goal. It stayed that way until late in the game, when Straticos came out of the penalty box and joined Sarnicchiaro for a two-on-one that Sarnicchiaro finished to tie the game.
Moments later, Chris Sanderson got the puck back to Alcott at the point and his shot got past Falcons goalie Alex Taylor for the game winner.
