Taylor Olson had three goals and three assists and Mike Vulpio added two goals and two assists as Clearview defeated Lenape/RV 6-4 on Friday night at Hollydell. Lenape/RV playing in Tier II this season finishes the regular season at 6-9-5. Ron Randall and Sam Belanger led Lenape/RV scoring two goals each. Clearview improved to 11-7 on the year with two games remaining, but struggled all night as Lenape/RV would not go away, to their credit.
Olson scored just over three minutes into the game, but Belanger tied the game at 1-1 at the six minute mark. Olson gave the View a 2-1 lead near the end of the period scoring a power play goal on a nice feed from Vulpio. Lenape tied the game four minutes into the second period as Randall converted a pass from Chris Popp. Vulpio and Olson gave the View a 4-2 lead, with Olson scoring short-handed as we entered the third period. Lenape/RV cut the lead to 4-3 just about five minutes into the final period.
Despite some good opportunities Lenape/RV could not get the equalizer, then with just over three minutes left, Eric Mitchell gave the View a 5-3 lead. Less than one minute later Belanger notched his second of the night to make it 5-4. Lenape/RV pulled the goalie, but Vulpio scored into the empty net to seal the victory.
