Two Third Period Goals Lift Men’s Hockey Over AMCATS

NASHUA, NH: The Rivier men's hockey took down the AMCATS of Anna Maria College this evening after a big third period where they scored two goals to get the final of 3-1.

THE BASICS:

- Date: 12/3/2021

- Score: Rivier 3, Anna Maria 1

- Records: Anna Maria (3-5-2), Rivier (4-5-1)

HOW IT HAPPENED:

- After a scoreless first period, the Raiders broke the tie with a powerplay goal at 9:58 into the second period. After two Anna Maria penalties to give the Raiders a 5-3 advantage Tyler Duderstadt (Sewickley, PA) found the back of the net.

- The AMCATS would respond at 11:02 into the period to tie it back up at one all. After another AMC penalty, Patrick Manning would take a wrist shot from just above the right circle that somehow found its way between Luke Newell's (Littleton, CO) leg pads for a shorthanded goal. Other than that, Newell had another stellar 34 save game.

- The third period would be all Rivier, starting off just 6 minutes in with another powerplay goal by Milan Breczko (Klasterec, CZR) to give the Raiders a 2-1 advantage.
