Salem, n.h. — Will Smith pulled the visiting Marauders into a tie off a Jensen Dodge pass during the third period but the Blue Devils notched the winner with six minutes remaining.

“We came back after a lethargic start,” said Hanover coach Dick Dodds, whose club surrendered 17 of the game’s first 18 shots.

Luke Ratliff made 22 saves for Hanover, which was outshot, 24-22, during the contest. The Marauders host Nashua South on Thursday.
