WEST POINT, N.Y. - The Army hockey team exploded for five goals in the second period and cruised to a 5-1 win over American International on Senior Night at Tate Rink.
Army (8-20-4, 8-15-4 AHA) was led by Brendan McGuire, who recorded a career-high three points on two goals and an assist, while C.J. Reuschlein and Tyler Pham tallied two points with a goal and an assist each. Joe Kozlak was the other goal scorer for the Black Knights in the big second frame. Parker Gahagen stopped 34 shots in the win with double-digit stops in all three frames.
"Senior night is such a special night," head coach Brian Riley said. "It's so great to have it end on a good note. Since we've come back from holidays we have been finding a way to get points. Last year it was up to chance and this year we made it happen and we are ready to take on Sacred Heart."
Army has locked up the ninth seed in the upcoming Atlantic Hockey Tournament and will travel to eighth-seeded Sacred Heart on March 6-7 with a third game if necessary on March 8. The Black Knights have earned points in four-straight weekends. Read More
