PITTSBURGH, Pa. – Freshman goalie Aidan Pelino (Oakville, Ontario/Chilliwack) posted his 1^st career shutout with 28 saves, as Bentley University defeated Robert Morris 3-0 on Friday night in the opening game of the team's weekend series.

Pelino and the Falcons were in control throughout. Pelino made 10 saves in the 1^st period, 11 saves in the 2^nd frame and seven in the 3^rd period to finish off the shutout, which was Bentley's first of the season as a team.

Sophomore Drew Callin (Middleton, Wisc./Janesville) provided two of the goals, one in the 2^nd period and the other in the 3^rd, and defenseman Chris Buchanan (San Jose, Calif./Fargo) scored the other goal.

After a scoreless first period, Bentley struck the game's first goal at 5:03 of the 2^nd period. Off a face-off win from Jake Kauppila (Gurnee, Ill./Trail) in the offensive zone, Callin fired a wrist shot past RMU goalie Francis Marotte for his 6^th goal of the season.

The Falcons then doubled their lead just 1:06 later off the stick of Buchanan, his 2^nd goal of the season, with the assists going to Ryner Gorowsky (Lino Lakes, Minn./Fairbanks) and Jonathan Desbiens (Montreal, Quebec/West Kelowna).

Pelino continued to slam the door for the rest of the 2^nd period and into the 3^rd on the Colonials, who came into the game with the 2^nd highest scoring offense in Atlantic Hockey at just over three goals a game.

Late in the 3^rd period, Callin sealed the win with an empty net goal from center ice with 1:15 remaining.

With the victory, the Falcons improved to 9-10-4 in Atlantic Hockey games. They will look to complete the series sweep tomorrow, with start time set for 5:05.
