Nearly a year after being denied a state championship in a double-overtime loss at the TD Garden, St. Mary’s got some measure of revenge Saturday.
The Spartans took it to Franklin in its own building Saturday night with a 7-3 win.
“The guys came out with a purpose, they played extremely hard from the get-go and we had good results,” Spartan coach Mark Lee said.
Colin Reddy and Anthony Buono each had three points on two goals and an assist, and Mike Zampanti had four assists for the winners.

At Pingree, the Generals are back with their own program this year after combining with Salem since 2005. And while there was a definite edge in shots 45-7) in favor of the Big Blue, only two of them went in.
“We had a tough time getting one in the net,” said Big Blue coach Gino Faia, “but we’re certainly happy we got that second one.”
Freshman Connor Donovan scored his first varsity goal and Louis Olivieri put one home in the third, clinching Swampscott’s seventh straight win.
Latin Academy 4, Lynn 1
Steve Patrie’s shorthanded goal in the first period was it on offense Sunday for the Jets against Latin Academy at Northeastern University’s Matthews Arena.
“We had a tough time controlling their first line,” Jets coach Joe Conlon said. “We were kind of scrambling around playing catch-up for most of the game.”
The Jets will try to rebound Monday afternoon at home against Somerville.
Revere 7, Somerville 3
At Cronin Rink, junior Mike Giordano scored three times, and junior teammate Mike Goroshko scored twice for the 4-3-0 Patriots.
“We were down 1-0, but we did a good job after that, shutting them down,” Patriots coach Joe Ciccarello said. “It starts on defense with us and we did a good job defensively.”
Danvers 6, Saugus 4
At Endicott College, two undefeated teams took to the ice Saturday, but only the Falcons remained so, taking a 6-4 win over the Sachems.
Saugus coach Jeff Natalucci said a slow start did his team in.
“Not a very good start for us, we didn’t do very well in the first two periods,” Natalucci said. “We came back, but it was a little too late.”
Brendan Ronan scored a couple for the Sachems, who slipped to 5-1-2. Ryan Groark and Mike Sarnacchiaro also scored for Saugus.

Sydney Cresta’s goal had given Marblehead a 1-0 lead early on.
“We came right back after they scored and we played a good game,” Bulldogs coach Anthony Martucci said.
The Bulldogs will be at home Wednesday night against Plymouth.
Auburn 3,Fenwick 3
The Crusaders got six points from their first line of Lexi McNeill, Amanda Blanchette and Meghan Carney, and a solid game in net from freshman keeper Kaylin Wesley, but were done in by a third period goal by Auburn.
“Disappointed with the result but certainly not the effort,” Fenwick coach Doug Anderson said. “We had it 1-1 after one, and 2-2 after two, we just couldn’t get one after that.”
