Men's ice hockey falls to AIC

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – Men's ice hockey fell to AIC, 4-1, on Thursday night at the MassMutual Center.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED:
  • AIC got on the board first at the 7:35 mark of the first period.
  • The one-goal lead held until the 13:49 mark of the second period when AIC scored on their sixth powerplay of the night.
  • The Crusaders scored their lone goal of the contest at the 10:40 mark of the third period. Junior Matt Shatsky sent a stretch pass to freshman Ty Gagno at the blue line. Gagno brought the puck into the zone, drawing the defense to the right side before sending a pass across the ice to a wide-open senior Tyler Ghirardosi. Ghirardosi lifted his shot over a sliding AIC defender, finding the back of the net for his fourth goal of the season.
  • With three minutes remaining, Holy Cross pulled junior Thomas Gale for an extra skater. AIC netted empty net goals at the 17:15 and 18:33 marks to put the game out of reach.
 
BEYOND THE BOX:
  • Gale recorded 38 saves in the contest, the second highest mark in his career.
  • Holy Cross held AIC to just one-for-seven on the powerplay, including zero-for-four in the first period.
  • AIC won 51 of 66 faceoffs in the matchup, while holding a 42-21 edge in shots.
  • The matchup marked the first game this season that senior Jack Ricketts did not record a point. Over the first nine games this season, Ricketts recorded 11 points on five goals and six assists. His 11 points leads Atlantic Hockey.
 
UP NEXT:
  • The two teams will face off again tomorrow night in Worcester for the back end of the home-and-home set. Puck drop is scheduled for 7 p.m. and will stream live on NESN+ and FloHockey.
