HOW IT HAPPENED
First Quarter
  • Embry-Riddle could not have asked for a better start to the game as they found themselves up 3-0 inside the first four minutes of the contest. Gavin Young scored the first goal of the day with 12:59 on the clock.
  • Following a faceoff win by Jaxon Holden, the Eagles doubled their lead less than a minute later when Jay Kyle scored his fifth goal of the season at 12:01.
  • The wait for the third was even shorter as Young already had his second goal of the afternoon with 11:38 to go. Within 90 seconds, the scoreless game had become 3-0.
  • An immediate timeout from Lynn helped slow down the hot start from the Blue and Gold, with the Fighting Knights grabbing the next goal with 8:05 remaining.
  • After three unassisted goals to begin the game, Lucas Anthony found the back of the net  to make it 4-1 off of an assist from Christopher Harper. Harper has now provided a team-high 14 assists this season.
Second Quarter
  • Landon Scully recorded his second goal of the game to start the scoring in the second quarter, bringing the Fighting Knights back to 4-2 after five minutes of action in the period.
  • With 6:30 on the clock, a goal from Cullen Trent made the game, 4-3. Cullen and Scully combined to score five of the six goals this afternoon for Lynn.
  • Following a spell where ERAU had only scored one goal in the past 20 minutes and their lead trimmed down to one, the Eagles took a timeout at 5:26. Just 30 seconds after the stoppage, the drought was ended as Leo Mileto had his first goal of the game from an assist by Pierce Montes.
  • Montes quickly picked up another point as the freshman grabbed a goal of his own after claiming a ground ball in front of the crease, extending Embry-Riddle's lead to 6-3.
  • Another quick flurry of goals from the Blue and Gold was finished by Mac Goodman with 2:58 to go in the half. All three goals in the quarter were scored in less than a two-minute span by the Eagles.
  • Lynn was held to just two shots on goal in the quarter after ERAU forced five turnovers in the quarter along with winning five of the six faceoffs.
Third Quarter
  • The streaky start continued for Embry-Riddle to begin the second half as the first two goals of the quarter came within 30 seconds of each other. Spence Hondru became the seventh different Eagle to score when he made it 8-3.
  • Tommy Cussen picked up the ground ball on the ensuing faceoff before the possession was quickly finished off for the second goal of the game from Montes with 9:06 remaining.
  • Lynn responded with two goals of their own on their next two possessions. The first came from Trent followed by a goal from Mario Leone, the only other Fighting Knight to score today. They trailed 9-5 at 6:04 in the quarter.
  • Kyle recorded his first multi-goal game of the season when he finished off the scoring for the third quarter to restore ERAU's lead back to five goals.
Fourth Quarter
  • Goodman seemed to deliver the knockout punch to Lynn when he made it 11-5 at 13:18 from an assist by Keefe after the Fighting Knights failed to clear the ball.
  • Reid Kerr had a great game in the crease for the Blue and Gold, making 11 saves which included six in the second half. The only shot to beat Embry-Riddle's goalkeeper in the quarter came from Trent with 12:33 remaining.
  • The final goal of the afternoon was scored by Harper after Anthony provided the helper at 9:20. ERAU provided an assist on five of their last six goals as a team.
