One local high school hockey team snapped a losing streak against a local rival. Another saw its extended against a divisional rival.

The Merrimack Tomahawks edged Nashua North-Souhegan in a classic at Conway Arena on Saturday, snapping a two-game skid to improve to 4-2.

However, the Bishop Guertin Cardinals weren’t as fortunate, dropping their second straight 3-2 decision at the hands of Salem, who they’ve had classic battles with.

In other action, the BG girls hockey team remained unbeaten with its second win over Berlin-Gorham in the last four days, this one on the road a bit easier than Wednesday’s comeback.

North and BG were also victorious in wrestling, while Merrimack topped BG in bowling at Merrimack Ten Pin.

However, Chase McBride evened things up at 8:15 of the first period, assisted by Mike Dodge and Danny Kwan.

Both Colin Duckless for North-Souhegan (2-2) and Ben Hardy (Merrimack) played well in goal. Hardy, in fact, assisted on the game-winning goal, sending Medlock up the ice.

The third period was a scoreless defensive struggle.

“Duckless was good in net and our ‘D’ played a great game,” N-S coach Bill Kotsifas said.
