#4 Saint Michael's 6 - BOX
GARDEN CITY, N.Y. - After throwing
down six goals in the opening period, the Panthers flexed their
offensive power by tacking on 14 over the next two quarters and
closing with two more in the final frame to come away with a
commanding 22-6 victory. With the win, the Brown and Gold bump
their record to 13-1 while the Purple Knights are ousted from the
championship at 11-5.
A total of 15 players registered at least one point while
nine had multiple-point games. No one topped
senior Nick Watson as
he recorded a career high of eight points on six assists and two
goals. Ikerson Hopper found
the back of the cage a game high four times while six of his
teammates chipped in with two goals each.
All four of the Panthers' goalkeepers saw time in cage with
graduate student Eric Janssen earning
the win after logging the first 30 minutes and allowing just two
goals while making six saves.
For Saint Michael's, Marty Vanzo
did most of the leg work as he accounted for half of his team's
goals while earning two of their three assists. Pete
Donnally, DJ Dauria and
Austin Driscoll all found the back of the
net once.
