Union forward Tyler Hynes made his first game in nearly a year count.
The senior’s second-period goal gave the Dutchmen a 3-0 lead as Union held on for a 4-3 win over RPI in the annual Mayor’s Cup matchup at the Times Union Center in Albany, New York.
The win marked the first time that either team had won consecutive Mayor’s Cup in the tournament’s six-year history. Saturday’s win, which counted as a non-conference game, also moved Union’s record to 3-0 against RPI this season.
Anthony Rinaldi, Sean Harrison, and Sebasitan Vidmar also scored for the Dutchmen, while TJ Samec, Billy Jerry, and Jared Wilson had goals for the Engineers. Samec’s goal was the first of his collegiate career. Rinaldi and Vidmar each added an assist as well.
The two teams combined for only 33 shots – 18 by RPI, and 15 by Union. The Dutchmen only had one shot on goal in the third period.
