The Rhode Island College ice hockey team was back in action this past weekend after a weekend off. The Anchormen traveled for a weekend trip to Vermont to face Lyndon State University. This is a trip the team takes every year; it’s aaway of bonding with teammates and leaving the state of Rhode Island, even just for two days. The team left Vermont with another win in their pocket as the team advanced to a 7-5 record by way of a 7-2 score.
Brett Morra, who has the team’s second most total points, had a hat trick in the win, for his third three-goal game of the season. Two Anchormen had their first goals of the season and another player had his first point of the season. Freshman Nick Bruno recorded his first goal of the year to give himself a total of four points. Junior Mike Nardolillo had not only his first goal of the season but also his first point of the season. On this goal, sophomore goaltender-turned-forward Matt Furtado also had his first point of the season, assisting Nardilillo in reaching the back of the net. Freshman Vincent Tudino was in goal for the Anchormen with sophomore starting goaltender Mark Bushy is still out with an ankle injury. Tudino recorded 27 saves in the 7-2 win.
The Anchormen will play at home on Friday night as they take on Sacred Heart University. The following night they are once again on the road to face Worcester Polytech.
Anchormen Notes…
Bushy remains out with an ankle injury… He hopes to return before the team breaks for the semester… Senior defensemen Mike Nadiger left during the second period with an ankle injury and did not return… No word on when he will make a return or the severity of the injury… Freshman TJ Jackvony remains out with a wrist injury, and will most likely not return until after the semester break…
