VALENCIA - A week ago Mars was ranked number one and headed for the North Division title of Class A, then upstart Freeport derailed the Planets path to a division title. Cliff Zeigler's Somerset squad, is a young talented group, which has overacheived and should capture a playoff berth for a second straight year. Steve Meyers opened the scoring for Mars with a goal at 6:41 of the first. Jim Roach extended the Planets lead at 4:37 of the second period. Somerset went on a 5 on 3 power play with three minutes left and although they had several good chances could not capitalize. Mars fed off their penalty kill and swarmed the Eagles and Bobby Beckert snapped a shot past Matts Jennsen on the short side to make it 3-0. In the third, Somerset tallied as Chad Pritts scored on the slapshot from the point at 13:17 to cut the Mars lead to 3-1. The Planets responded just 29 seconds later as Brian Matthews scored from the point thorugh a screen to make the final score 4-1. The Planets outshot Somerset 35-19.
