Score: Elms College 11 | Anna Maria College 10
Records: Blazers 5-3, 3-1 (GNAC) | AMCats 1-10, 0-5 (GNAC)

HOW IT HAPPENED

Elms would come out of the gate with the offensive momentum immediately after the opening faceoff as first-year Nicky Miltenberger (Ridge, NY) would in the faceoff and take the ball and score the opening goal in six seconds. The Blazers would continue their offensive success with a goal by sophomore Connor Tobin (Northampton, MA) a few seconds later and would be followed by a goal by first-year Miah Rondon to give Elms an early 3-0 lead. But Anna Maria would come back to take the lead by scoring four-straight goals. The Blazers would come back to tie the score with a goal by sophomore Tosh Marshall (Sylvan Lake, AB, Canada) and then would take the lead with 28 seconds remaining in the opening quarter with a goal by first-year Luciano Jordan Canino (Dalton, MA). Rondon would score the first goal of the second quarter, but the AMCats would take the lead by scoring another four-straight unanswered goals going into halftime with a 6-8 lead.

Elms would inch their way to regain the lead with a second goal by Canino, but the AMCats would score again. Canino would score a third goal and was quickly responded by another Anna Maria goal, but Canino would score once more to bring the score 9-10. Then in the fourth quarter, the Blazers would hold defensively, shutting down the AMCats offensively. The Elms offense would capitalize after goals by Rondon and Tobin to secure the conference victory for the Blazers, 11-10. With the victory, Coach Rob Cross would reach 100 career wins at the collegiate level.
