on Wednesday (April 28) night at Perry High School's Alumni

comeback.

Kyle Larsen (Massillon, Ohio/Jackson),
Keegan Bal (Coquitlam, B.C./Centennial Secondary)
and Joeyjohn French (Tully, N.Y./Tully) added one
goal apiece. Larsen's assist gave him two points to match
Becker's pair.
Seton Hill was able to dominate in the hustle
categories, leading ground balls (37-27) and faceoffs (13-8). The
Griffins scored on two of its three man-up opportunities, while the
