WEST POINT, N.Y. - The Army hockey team scored four goals in the first period to cruise to an 8-0 win over the Royal Military Academy on Saturday night at Tate Rink. Clint Carlisle led the way with four points on a goal and three assists, while the Black Knights made it four-straight wins over their rival.
In addition to Carlisle's four points, Army saw C.J. Reuschlein put two goals and add an assist for three points. Three players added multiple point games with Joe Kozlak, Maurice Alvarez and Ryan Nick adding a goal and an assist each. Cole Bruns earned the shutout with 19 saves. The Black Knights outshot the Paladins by a 60-19 margin and goaltender Evan Deviller stopped 52 shots.
"Anytime you have a rivalry game you know there's going to be a different level of intensity," head coach Brian Riley. "We came out strong, I didn't know what kind of game it was going to be like, but those early power play goals helped our momentum. Both military academies teach discipline and it was just good hockey without getting out of hand. I thought we did a really good job, especially with the power play goals." Read More
