The Vets led 1-0 after the 1st period, trailed 3-2 after 2 periods, and then after the Vets tied the game early in the 3rd period the Merchants scored a powerplay goal at the midway point of the period and added an empty net goal to seal the victory.
Rhylan Warford, Logan Pace-Roth, and Brodie Kearns scored for the Vets.
Tyler Bouck made 27 saves in taking just his 3rd loss of the season.
The Vets still sit in 3rd place with a 12-6-0-1 record … 6 points back of New Hamburg and 5 points back of Norwich but with a game in hand on each … with Wellesley just 1 point behind the Vets but with a game in hand.
