EXETER, NH – No. 5 Exeter started and ended hot en route to an 82-63 win over No. 12 Goffstown in Division I first round action on Wednesday night.
Nate McNeff scored 11 points in the opening frame, combining with running-mate Nikolas Greco to score 19 in the period.

Tyler Dionne paced the scoring with 14 points, while Noah Durham added 12 for the Grizzlies.
