Posted on by Lowell Peabody

On Wednesday, the Manchester Essex Hornets hosted the Hamilton Wenham Generals and at the end the teams were tied 0-0. A hard fought game neither team could establish an advantage until the Generals were awarded a penalty shot late in the second half. Hornets goalie Alex Taliaferro came up with a big save and smothered the ball. The Hornets (3-6-2 CAL)  will be at home on Friday to take on Masconomet (10-0-0 CAL) at 3:45, Hyland Field.
