EVERETT, Mass. – Junior Peter Sikalis (Acton, Mass.) scored two goals to lead the Saint Anselm College men's ice hockey team to a 4-2 victory against Wentworth Institute of Technology on Saturday evening at Allied Veterans Rink.

STANDOUT PERFORMERS

  • Blaszka doubled the Hawks' lead just 2:33 later with an unassisted strike that made it 2-0.
  • Wentworth cut its deficit in half with just 56 seconds on the clock in the opening period when Spada netted a power-play goal with assists from Eric Eustace and Sattler.
  • Meads re-instituted Saint Anselm's two-goal lead just 3:13 into the middle frame on feeds from junior Nick Leonard (Methuen, Mass.) and senior Tyler Estee (Bow, N.H.).
