GARDEN CITY, N.Y. – No. 15 ranked Bentley scored the game's final three goals en route to knocking off No. 2 ranked Adelphi by a 13-11 score on Saturday afternoon.

Cam Bartolomeo (Meriden, Conn./Xavier) won the ensuing faceoff and a shot by Nathan Alviti (New Fairfield, Conn./New Fairfield) on the possession was saved by Panthers goalie Dylan Renner. Adelphi cleared and that led to a shot by Logan Tucker that was denied by Falcons goalie Jackson Tinsley (Beverly Hills, Mich.), just one of his 14 saves on the day.

Bentley cleared and that led to a goal by Garrett Witt (Frederick, Md./Oakdale) at 1:56 to give Bentley the lead at 12-11.

Bartolomeo won the next faceoff and Bentley transitioned down the field, which led to a goal by Makhatadze with 44 seconds left for a 13-11 lead.
