The Spiders have eked out a few moral victories this season, but never a moral tie.
With both the Nordeasters and Spiders facing spring break-induced skater-power shortage, the Sunday night tilt at Richfield couldn’t have been more even, except in ref whistles.
Bench: (almost) even. Shots: even. PIM: (not quite) even. Final score: (almost) even. But for a negated late goal for the Spiders.

Final score: 2–1.
The Spiders stay stuck in 9th place, while the Nordeasters don’t budge, still in 8th. And with four games left for the Spiders, and a 10-point gap to the fifth-place cutoff, that makes the Spiders’ (and Nordeasters’) early golf season official.
Next up, a naptime interruption game, a rematch with the Pines, 4 p.m. at SLP (inside) on Sunday.
