Senior defenseman Matt Yianacopolus scored on shot from the point 2:10 into the game. Senior Brendan Maloney tacked on another less than 30 seconds later, and the score held at 2-0 after the first period.

Senior Joey Guarino extended the MC lead to three, netting his seventh of the season 3:37 into the frame. Marshfield (19-4-2) kept up its physicality, but struggled to keep up with the Lancers, who tallied two more goals in the second and two in the third. Junior Colin Nestor, sophomore Jagger Benson and senior Justin Collins all scored and Guarino got his second to round out the 7-0 win.

For Marshfield, the schools first Super 8 appearance ended in disappointment, but the loss didnt dimish its strong season.

Were happy we get 2 points, and we get to play whenever they tell us the next game is, MC coach John McLean said.

Eighteen-two-two in the regular season, won the play-in game [against Austin Prep] and got to the Super 8 for the first time in school history, said Marshfield coach Dan Connolly. Right now it doesnt mean anything to them, but in a week or two weeks when they look back and realize what they accomplished, they can be proud of it.

Arlington 4, Hingham 1 Every time Hingham appeared to break through in Game 2 of its Super 8 first-round series against Arlington, Peter Scheschareg was there to turn the tide back in the Spy Ponders favor. The senior captain, nicknamed The German Freight Train by his coaches and teammates, potted three goals at Chelmsford Forum, one in each period, to lead Arlington to a date with Malden Catholic in the semifinals.

Each period gets bigger as the game goes on, and youve got to get bigger and faster, you cant slow down, Scheschareg said. You need to put everything on the line in the last couple periods, so thats what I try to do.

Hinghams forecheck was strong in the first period, but they struggled to generate high-quality scoring chances. On the other end of the ice, Scheschareg created offense for Arlington (20-2-2) on his own. He raced into the offensive zone along the left wing with just under 4:30 left in the frame and slid the puck past Hingham junior goalie Robbie Kornack to net the lone goal of the first.

Scheschareg did it again in the second, this time scoring on a shorthanded breakaway. The Harbormen (16-6-2) pushed for a goal, but junior goalie Jack Pinard was near perfect against the barrage.

In the third period, Hingham senior Jack Hennessy got his team on the board with his 13th of the season, but as the Harbormen closed in, Scheschareg answered. He completed his hat trick with 2:23 left in the contest, cutting through two defenders before slipping the puck past Kornack with just one hand on his stick. Senior Mic Curran added an empty net goal a minute later, sealing the victory. Arlington is set to square off with No. 1 Malden Catholic with a trip to the Super 8 Final on the line.

MC is the premier program in the state, Coach [John] McLean does it the right way, Arlington coach John Messuri said. I wont put the nightmare in [my teams] head just yet, Ill let them sleep one night without the night light on.

Division 1 North

St. Marys 4, Arlington Catholic 2 The Spartans (16-7-2) surged to a 3-0 first-period lead on the way to a semifinal victory at the Tsongas Center in Lowell.

St. Marys will play the Andover/Austin Prep winner in the North final on Monday.

Senior forward Dante Maribito netted the games first goal with a wrister from the blue line. Junior defensman Nicholas Scalli extended the lead from about the same spot. Junior Jason Loeser netted the third goal of the period.

We got pucks to the net early, St. Marys coach Mark Lee said. When a goaltender lets one in early, next thing you tell them is you want to get pucks to the net. We did and getting that little bit of a lead gave us some confidence early.

Arlington Catholics Mason Beecher scored with 15 seconds left in the second period to bring the Cougars within two. In the third period, Jack Bertolami scored on a two-on-one opportunity to make it a one-goal game, but Maribito netted an empty-netter to seal the game for the Spartans.

Division 1 North

Andover 2, Austin Prep 1 Prep netted the equalizer with 1:37 left, but following a timeout, Michael Reilly scored the winner with 21 seconds remaining, lifting the Golden Warriors (15-5-2) to the semifinal win at the Tsongas Center. Andover will play St. Marys in the North final on Monday. When we called the timeout after they tied it, we said we wanted to attack them deep, said Andover coach Chris Kuchar. That threw them off a little bit. We were trapping the first two and a half periods and then we said we are going to unload on them. Reilly took a pass from Caedon Dillman at the bottom of the right faceoff circle and fired a shot into the back of the net. Michael Biddle scored the first Andover goal with two minutes left in the second period. Nick Carafelli scored the tying goal for Prep.

St. Marys 4, Arlington Catholic 2 The Spartans (16-7-2) surged to a 3-0 first-period lead on the way to the semifinal win over AC (12-7-4) at the Tsongas Center in Lowell. Senior captain Dante Maribito scored the games first goal on a wrister from the blue line, junior defenseman Nico Scalli extended the lead with a wrist shot from the same spot, and junior Jason Loesner converted a centering pass from Mike Desmond with a tally from in front of the net. When the Cougars closed with one in the third period, Maribito scored an empty-netter.

Division 3 South

Old Rochester 6, Dartmouth 3 Sophomore Sam Austin netted a pair of goals for the Bulldogs (22-3) in the semifinals. Old Rochester will play Rockland in the sectional final on Sunday at 3:15 p.m. at Gallo Arena in Bourne.

Rockland 5, Nantucket 2 The Bulldogs (21-1-3) erased an early 1-0 deficit with four straight goals to hand the Whalers (19-1-3) their first loss in a semifinal at Gallo Rink. Seniors Brian McCullough, Chris McHugh, and Matt Dunn, freshman Zack Callahan, and junior Mike Flaherty score for Rockland, which will play Old Rochester/Fairhaven in Sundays final.

Division 3A Central

Oakmont 6, Lunenburg 2 Freshman Jake Hewitt scored four goals and Greg Morin added four assists as No. 4 seed Oakmont Regional skated away from top-seeded Lunenburg.

Grafton 2, Littleton 1 Brendan Coates scored 28 seconds into overtime to lift the visiting No. 3 Indians (15-6-1) over the second-seeded Tigers (12-5-4). Grafton will play Oakmont in the championship at 4 p.m. Sunday. Noah Charron scored in the final minute of the first period for Grafton. Sean Kitian scored Littletons goal with 52 seconds left in regulation.

David Horowitz : A determined reporter, Colin Flaherty, broke ranks to document these rampages in a book titled, White Girl Bleed A Lot

Daily Caller : As the brutal knockout game sweeps across the U.S., one author isnt surprised by the attacks or the media reaction. Colin Flaherty, author of the book White Girl Bleed A Lot: The Return of Racial Violence to America and How The Media Ignore It, began chronicling the new wave of violence nearly a year ago revealing disturbing racial motivations behind the attacks and a pattern of media denial.

Alex Jones of Inforwars.com: "Brilliant. I could not put it down."

From the Bill Cunningham show. It is official: "A wonderful book. Colin Flaherty is a great American."

Neal Boortz: "ColinFlaherty has become Public Enemy No.1 to the leftist media because of the research he's done on the black culture of violence."

The Houston Examiner said the book was "magic" because "it will give you clarity on why "flash mobs" are such a troublesome issue for American media, politicans and polite conversation."

Jason Lewis called it an "an important and explosive book."

Talk show host Jesse Lee Peterson said: "You must read this book."

Dan Auld, named top columnist of the year from both the San Diego Press Club and Society of Professional Journalists, said "This is a challenging book. An interesting and powerful and ultimately persuasive book by a great American writer not afraid to look at one of the most thought about but unspoken features of American life."

"Great book by a great San American writer." -- John Sryker Meyer, author of the best selling Viet Nam book: "Across the Fence."

Mar. 5: Dog sleds, Kaepernick and Chase bank

NEW YORK DAILY NEWS

Sunday, March 5, 2017, 3:00 AM

Las Vegas: With increasing public awareness about the treatment and conditions of animals used in various entertainment venues and recreational pastimes, its time the Iditarod was exposed for what it is: animal cruelty.

Dogs are exploited for monetary gain, which is nothing new. The conditions to which they are subjected, the injuries they often sustain, and their treatment by some owners should have turned off fans by the hordes, if we care about animals and their well being.

These creatures are not machines and have no voice or choice in their fate, but we do. We can refuse to contribute towards and subsidize their misery by not supporting these races.

We should ask ourselves how we would feel if our own companion animals were forced to endure what these dogs have. Annoula Wylderich

Manhattan: President Trumps address to Congress explained his intention to increase military spending and strengthen national security. This cannot effectively protect the U.S. from international conflict and terrorist threat and will not solve the current chaotic situation. Instead, increasing the international affairs budget is a better way to help promote development and democracy in currently unstable areas and thus help establish stable, developed, democratic regimes where conflict and violence rarely occur. If the President could increase the international affairs budget instead of increasing military spending, this problem of international conflict could be better addressed. Fighting global poverty is a more effective way to fight terrorism. Xiying Huangfu

Ormond Beach, Fla.: Regarding U.S. adults with hearing loss projected to nearly double from 2020 to 2060 (March 2), I have two questions. Will hearing aid manufacturers price their absurdly overpriced instruments more affordably in response, or follow the pharmaceutical companies lead with a manic gouging binge? And second, will insurance conglomerates finally recognize hearing loss as an insurable disease severe enough to affect employment and offer appropriate coverage? Given corporate ethics, both questions are probably rhetorical. Tom Johnson

Lincoln Park, N.J.: I read the story in the Daily News about former New York Mets first baseman Ed Kranepool needing a kidney transplant. As a Mets fan (and human being), I am very sorry to hear this awful news. The story infers his medical costs will be out of pocket and he is preparing to auction off his 1969 championship ring and other memorabilia. How does he not have, at age 72, Medicare and a supplement like the rest of us? Keith Remland

Woodmere, L.I.: Former Vice President Joe Biden must be thrilled to learn that his son is hooking up with his daughter-in-law. Ah, the joys of incest. A real classy move. Elaine Savino

Manhattan: I agree with Voicer Charlotte Dinowitz that mentally ill individuals should not be able to buy guns. In fact, no one should be able to buy guns. Buying guns should be illegal. The killing of innocent victims must end, and now! Our children need to grow up on safe streets, and not to be afraid to walk on the streets. Amy Rosenfeld

Howard Beach: So a bikini model runs a $2 million identity theft scam and only gets a slap on the wrist? If any one of us were to do that, wed be facing mandatory jail time! But I guess she learned her lesson (snicker). Jairo Baez

Barrie, Ontario: What has Colin Kaepernick done to support the victims of black-on-black crime? Far more victims are assaulted by people who look just like them. By supporting these victims, he would have to admit this fact. The site DNAinfo Chicago shows that the victims of crime are mostly black or Hispanic. Very few are white or Asian victims. So is Kaepernick going to face facts and admit what so many choose to ignore? Eileen Herbert

Beijing: Its not required to fall upon your career sword to be counted among the courageous and principled (Colin Kaepernick a hypocrite as he ends national anthem protest now that he needs a new job , March 2). Colin Kaepernick performed his duty to his views and to country. He did so non-violently and clearly at a time when attention needed to be focused on what seemed to be an epidemic of questionable slayings. In fact, if Kaepernick sticks to only playing football from now on, hes displayed more patriotic courage in one season than most of us in all our years. My hats off to him. Prof. William Poy Lee, Beijing Foreign Studies University

Manhattan: College professors have too much idle time on their hands and are making a mountain out of a molehill. Why dont they stick to fighting violent crimes rather than wasting time fighting Kellyanne Conway? And how is she a danger? (Law professors seek sanctions against Kellyanne Conway over conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, Feb. 27). Colleges charge ungodly tuitions to pay these instructors ridiculously high salaries for a low amount of work hours in return. I have known Ivy League professors and I know the sham. My husband and I broke our backs financially as we sent our four daughters to elite schools. Professors are having fun on the gravy train thanks to us. The system needs closer scrutiny. Paula Flaherty

Yorba Linda, Calif.: I really like Abby Lee Miller and I am hoping for no jail time for her and that she is able to continue with her show Dance Moms, which I love. There is nothing else like it on TV to watch. Lisa Folenta

Ozone Park: Our new Attorney General Jeff Sessions was intimidated by a question from our notoriously tough Sen. Al Franken. Gee, what would Sessions do if confronted with contentious, real-life situations? He should be gone, as his spine seems to be as weak as a sagging spring mattress. Ray Hackinson

New Fairfield, Conn.: Evan Grossman wrote an excellent, thoughtful, thorough rebuke to Mike Francescas views on the ability of women coaches (Mike Francesas clueless, sexist rant about Becky Hammon shows how narrow-minded many in sports are, March 2). Its not as if women havent demonstrated their talents and abilities in every field imaginable to convince people they deserve a chance. Its the same prejudice used to prevent African-Americans from becoming quarterbacks. What is Francesa afraid of? Join this century. Michael Galleano

Raleigh, N.C.: In my opinion, President Trump criticizing Sen. Chuck Schumer is fake news (President Trump slams total hypocrite Schumer for past meetings with Putin, March 3). Who cares what Trump says or thinks? Every word that comes out of his mouth, Jeff Sessions mouth, Kellyanne Conways mouth and, of course, Sean Spicers mouth, are flat-out lies. The Daily News prints this stuff as if they are being truthful. Having the responsibility of holding these people accountable, your publication is failing badly. Robin Grant

Bellmore, L.I.: Ive been buying and the Daily News since it cost three cents when The News had the largest circulation in the country. Articles were based on investigation and written without bias, just the facts. Commentary was on the editorial page. What happened to The News? Now it has become a scandal sheet, an arm of the Democratic Party with a falling circulation. At this rate, it wouldnt be long before The News ceases to exist. John J. Ferrante

Woodhaven: I got a letter from JPMorgan Chase Bank that starting March 28, they will be charging a fee that begins at $18.95 to order checks. So low to middle income families without Chases Premier Platinum Checking will now be paying for checks. Is one of the biggest banks so in need of cash that it would start taking more from the low and middle class or is this to curb regular people from having accounts with Chase? I guess Jamie Dimons million-dollar bonuses must came from someone why their loyal customers? For shame. Thomas Schineller
