West Point, N.Y. – Senior goalie Jake Bryniarski (Rochester, N.Y.) made 27 saves for Bentley as the Falcons and Army West Point skated to a 3-3 tie on Saturday night in the final game of the regular season. Bentley finishes in second place in the Atlantic Hockey standings with 34 points.

Bentley already clinched home-ice for the quarterfinals with last night's 2-1 win. They finish the regular season with a 15-9-4 AHA record for 34 points, its second highest points total for a regular season behind 36 points in the 2013-14 season. Overall they finish the regular season 16-13-5.

Bryniarski was called into action early and often as he made 14 saves in the first period.

Army though led it 1-0 after the first, but just 49 seconds into the 2^nd period Bentley tied it on a power play, 5-on-3 goal by defenseman Tanner Jago (Brandon, Manitoba) on a slap shot blast from the blue line. The goal was his 9^th of the season.

Army took the lead back at 7:13 of the 2^nd period on a power play goal by forward Mason Krueger, his 2^nd goal of the night.

The score stayed that way into the 3^rd period, but Bentley erased that deficit and went ahead 3-2 with two goals in the span of just 44 seconds. Junior Ryner Gorowsky (Lino Lakes, Minn.) scored at 5:31 after he finished off a break down the ice. Then just moments later junior Jonathan Desbiens (Montreal, Quebec) fired in his 15^th goal of the season from the left wing.

Army though got the tying goal from defenseman Dalton MacAfee at the 11:12 mark.

Bryniarski made three saves in overtime for Bentley to keep the game tied.

Bentley will now be the No. 2 seed in the Atlantic Hockey playoffs and will host a quarterfinal series at Bentley Arena on March 15-17. They will find out their opponents after next weekend's first round series.

The other four teams to earn a bye besides Bentley are AIC, Air Force, Sacred Heart and RIT.
