Wyman recorded his first goal of the season in today's win.  

The Saints struck first, building a quick 3-0 lead over the Thoroughbreds with goals from Hennessey, Koch and Gagne. Hudson Miller scored the first for Skidmore, but was followed up by Martin and Williams to give the Scarlet and Brown a 5-1 lead after the first quarter.

Caffrey fed Donnelly for a man-up goal to kick off scoring in the second frame, as St. Lawrence outscored the Thoroughbreds 3-1 in the second quarter to hold an 8-2 lead at halftime.

Koch recorded his second man-up goal of the game and his ninth of the season, while Donnelly added his second of the game and 24th goal of the season and Mapstone scored off the quick pass from Stew Hutchinson down the stretch to help seal the win for the Saints.

"It was a solid road win today," said head coach Mike Mahoney '93 P'22. "We focused on getting off to a good start, which I felt we did today and it was also nice to see balanced scoring as well."

Jason Shlonsky led Skidmore with two goals, while Miller recorded a goal and an assist and Eric Megnia scored once for the Thoroughbreds. Thoroughbreds' goalkeeper Tim Rahill grabbed a team-best four ground balls, while four different members of the Skidmore squad each caused one turnover.

All three Saints' goalkeepers saw action between the pipes this afternoon. Alex Terry recorded the win with eight saves, while Jordan Eichholz and William Helm each recorded one save. Rahill finished with 18 saves for the Thoroughbreds. Terry currently ranks second in Division III with a 5.82 goals against average.
