HOW IT HAPPENED

Marist held a 9-3 advantage in shots during the opening 14 minutes and broke the scoreless game with a goal at 15:23. The Black Knights did not waste any time and countered with a 7-1 run that was highlighted by a Stewart hat trick and a pair of scores by Manor.
The Red Foxes found their rhythm late in the half and scored a trio of goals in the closing 1:49 to make it a two-point game, 7-5, entering the half.
After trading scores in the opening portion of the second half, the Black Knights' offense caught fire and Army went on a 9-0 run with six different Cadets tallying a score over nearly a 17-minute stretch.
Burns and the Black Knights' defense played a pivotal role during that time. The junior goalie kept the Red Foxes off the board by denying all four shots on goal.
Marist eventually broke through and put in three unanswered goals, but the Army lead proved to be too much as the Cadets sealed the 18-9 road victory.
