Junior Andrew Angus (Boston, Mass./Charlestown) led the Salem State offense, posting three points on one goal and one assist. Newcomer Carlos DeOliveira (Peabody, Brazil/Peabody) added one goal for the Vikings.
Salem State opened the scoring late in the first half as DeOliveira connected for his first collegiate goal off a helper from Angus in the 40th minute. Less than one minute later, Angus added his team-high fifth goal of the season to give the Vikings a 2-0 lead.
The Fitchburg State offense pressured the Vikings in the second half, posting a 4-2 advantage in shots, but could not capitalize as senior Pawel Brzyczy (Krakow, Poland/Ware) recorded three second-half saves to preserve the Viking victory. Junior goaltender Matt Carey (Stratford, Conn./Stratford) totaled one save in each half to lead the Falcons defensively.
