Jacob Klump scored the lone Groton goal, and he was assisted by Tim Baxendell. Groton's goalie Lucus Goodwin recorded four saves, while Sean McDaniel had one.
"We started a bit slow, but we played better and better as the game went on," said Dryden head coach Laszlo Engel. "The starting group moved the ball well and made good adjustments as the game went on to make it better.  My younger guys did as we have been training and showed great
improvement. I like the direction we are going. We certainly still have much to work on, but this was a great start."
Dryden will play Marathon at home Thursday at 4:30 p.m.
