Attackman Mike Donnelly ’20 also netted one goal and had one assist. He has become a strong contributor on the field for the Saints. Donnelly said after the game, “Our strength was definitely that we had many different people scoring. Headed into our next game, our focus will be on continuing with our momentum and having multiple people contribute offensively.”

In the Saints Athletics recap of the game, head coach Mike Mahoney was quoted as saying, “I thought today was a great response by the guys. We wanted to get off to a good start, and I think we accomplished that. We had a great balance in the scoring column and shot the ball really well, which has been a focus of ours.”

While the class of 2017 graduated 18 seniors, the Saints held a strong group of returning starters, including Dow and Cal Hynson ’18. The team also gained the addition of seventeen new incoming players, including 14 first-years and 3 transfer student-athletes.

The Saint’s record thus far in the season is 6-2, recording their only two losses of the season to Middlebury College and No. 19 Ithaca College.
