MERRIMACK — Merrimack handed Salem its first loss 39-20.

The host Tomahawks, who are also 4-1, took a 14-7 lead in the first and extended it to 21-7 at the break.

Josh Sibanda scored all three touchdowns, one a 12-yard run, another a 72-yard and alo a 35-yard pass from Matt Soldano.

Salem coach Rob Pike came away impressed with Merrimack's ace quarterback Justin Grassini (28-41, 458 yards, 3 TDs)

"He's really good," said Pike. "He gets rid of the ball quickly and he's really very accurate. And he's a good athlete. He can run, too. He's a real good one and the guys he's throwing to are pretty great."

Defensively, Pike praised lineback Adam Maroun (sack), free safey James LeBlond (another interception), and end Ben Emerson.

Salem is at Memorial Friday.
