After having qualified for the NJCAA playoffs earlier this year, the Vikings’ season has come to a disappointing end.

The Vikings played Tompkins Sutton Community College in Dryden, New York last Wednesday. Unfortunately, they lost in a close game that ended with a final score of 8-11.

The Vikings held a lead shortly into the game but eventually were outlasted by Tompkins Sutton.

Sophomore Mark Calicchia, of Loudonville/Shaker, New York, had a team high of four points. Three of which were goals.

Sophomore Aaron Thorpe, of Malta /Ballston Spa, New York and Freshman Darren Nagy, Saugerties/Saugerties, New York also had strong games. Thorpe collected a goal and an assist, while Nagy had two goals.

Some of the Vikings had very impressive point totals to end the season as well. Aaron Thorpe led the team in points on the season with a very productive 78 points in only 13 games. Of his points, 43 were goals.

Freshman Nathan Bruce and Sophomore Mark Calicchia both had 42 points, each of whom were good for second most on the team.

Overall, the Vikings had a very successful season, and we hope to see them back in the NJCAA playoffs next season.
