Pace dominated NYIT on March 8, scoring the game's first four goals in a 13-7 victory over their Empire State rivals. Liam Brennan had a hat trick, three others also had multi-goal games, and Bradley Patterson scored as well as contributed four assists. Robert Beshlian made 14 saves in the win.
LAST TIME THEY MET: Pace erupted for ten first-quarter goals in a 23-7 win against the Yellow Jackets on March 29, 2016 in Pleasantville, New York. Brennan had three goals and six assists to lead the game for the Setters, while AIC's
Kevin Papineau notched a hat trick of his own and added an assist to lead AIC's offense on the day.
FOUR STRAIGHT: Magliano and
Sam Scarfo each have four game point streaks active. Magliano has 4-3-7 combined in the last four games, while Scarfo has tallied 3-3-6 in the four games he has played.
