No. 10/12 Men’s Ice Hockey Thumps Becker, 9-1

BEVERLY, Mass. – The No. 10/12 Endicott men's ice hockey team defeated Becker College, 9-1, on Friday night in conference action at Raymond J. Bourque Arena.

Endicott jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first period via goals courtesy of Jason Kalinowski (Stamford, Conn.), Jack Kilty (Medway, Mass.), and Jake Simons (Coral Springs, Fla.) and the Gulls were never threatened the rest of the way.

Joseph Slovak (South Yarmouth, Mass.), John Carricato (Ridge, N.Y.), and Simons all found the back of the net in the second period, while Ross Olsson (Billerica, Mass.),  Ricky Carballo (Keller, Texas) and Simons registered goals in the final 20 minutes of action to cap the scoring for the Gulls.

In goal, Conor O'Brien (Pinellas Park, Pa.) made 13 saves over two periods (9-3-2) of play and Elijah Harris (Haverhill, Mass.) finished out the third with seven stops.
