The Nashua High School North-Souhegan boys hockey team can breathe a sigh of relief after getting back in the win column on Saturday. So can the Alvirne-Milford Admirals as they likely clinched a tourney berth. And Merrimack celebrated its seniors at West Side Arena.

We’ve even got some gymnastics for you as the state meet was held on Saturday in Salem. Here’s a look at yet another busy weekend day:

MERRIMACK 7, SOMERSWORTH/COE-BROWN 2

Merrimack outshot the ‘Toppers 40-26, improving to 11-2 as the likely top contender in Division II.

It was a special early evening at West Side, as the Tomahawks’ five seniors were honored and continued to set the pace, as senior Joey Raymond scored the game’s first goal at 9:20 of the 1st period, assisted by Jackson Woods, and Will Farrell.

With the score 1-1 in the second period, on a 5-on-3, after receiving a pass from senior co-captain Eliot Medlock, Jackson Woods sent in a shot from the blue line and Cam Bellemore slammed home the rebound at 8:00 to make it 2-1. Shortly after at 7:46, the Tomahawks scored another power play goal as Joey Raymond collected a puck the ricocheted off the boards behind the Somersworth – CB net, and slid it over to Will Ferrell, who buried it in the net for a 3-1 lead. Merrimack’s senior co-captain Conor Dunn swooped in and sniped a beauty under the crossbar to make it 4-1 at 2:57.

The third period was dominated by the Tomahawks as Medlock scored assisted by Feliz Rattunde, making it 5-1 at 11:50. Dunn and Bellemore each scored another goal for the Tomahawks, who are at Goffstown on Monday.
