SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – Behind a four-goal first period and 27 saves from rookie Cole Bruns, the Army hockey team was able to hold off AIC for a 4-3 win on Saturday night at Olympia Ice Center. Army outshot the Yellow Jackets by a large margin, but beat the netminder twice. Tonight the puck seemed to bounce the Black Knights’ way with three goals coming in the first 8:28 of the opening period.
“We didn’t get the bounces last night, but tonight we were able to find the back of the net,” head coach Brian Riley said. “Guys were making great plays and we got off to a great start. Giving them a goal with 15 seconds left in the first is not how you want to end the period, but our guys responded and did a great job.” Goaltender Cole Bruns earned his first collegiate win tonight with 27 saves between the pipes, including 12 in the final period.
