HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Rivier erupted for 13 goals in the opening half while keeping Albertus Magnus off the board, setting the tone early in the first quarter. First-years Conor Walsh and Andrew Nee connected just 1:54 in to open the scoring, and 40 seconds later, first-year Henri Brochu found sophomore James DelPrete to quickly double the lead. The Raiders continued to build momentum as sophomores Aiden Conley and Mason Schultz added tallies at 9:10 and 7:28, respectively. Schultz struck again for his second of the game before Nee notched his first, and Walsh capped the dominant quarter with his second goal at 1:38, sending Rivier into the second with a commanding 7-0 advantage
  • Rivier carried its momentum into the second quarter, continuing to pull away as Brochu netted his second goal of the afternoon. DelPrete extended the lead to 9-0 at the 7:39 mark, before Schultz scored in back-to-back fashion to complete his hat trick and push the advantage to 11.
