A lot of offensive talent on both teams, but don&#8217;t overlook the goalies.&#160; Wentworth&#8217;s Mike Jarboe&#160; was solid in the opening night tie. The Vikings return James LaCour from injury in addition to Sam Avoine, and youngsters Andrew Knight and Ryan Sutliffe are present as well.&#160; <strong>Salem State 3, Wentworth 2.<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>Nichols at Westfield State<\/div>\n<div>Season opener for both.
