Pioneer Fredrik Wilberg beat Bentley’s Bill Bridge with a long slap shot at 1:31 of the first period and Martin Paquet’s wrist shot passed Bridge at 10:28, providing the Pioneers with a
\nlead they would not relinquish.<\/p>\n
Bentley’s Andy Peters cut the gap to 2-1 at 18:59 of the first period with a power-play goal, but Paquet scored his second of three goals on the night three minutes into the middle period.<\/p>\n
Joe Lovell answered for the Falcons at 5:30 of the second period, but the Pioneers once again had a response as Wilberg lit the lamp for the second time at 14:44 to give Sacred Heart a 4-2 lead at the second intermission.<\/p>\n
Both teams remained scoreless through the third period until John DiGennaro finished off a pass from Marcus Willy on a 2 on 1 break to make it 4-3 with only 1:16 remaining. <\/p>\n
But Paquet completed his hat trick into an empty net with 18 seconds to play to complete the scoring.<\/p>\n
Sacred Heart’s Eddy Ferhi stopped 38 shots in goal for the Pioneers while Bridge made 29 saves in his first collegiate start.<\/p>\n
The win evens Sacred Heart’s record in MAAC play at 3-3-3 and improves the Pioneers to 5-4-3 overall while Bentley dips to 0-11-1, 0-9-1 in the league.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
