This was the second game in a row and the third game this season that AU has had 12 or more different players score throughout a single game.
 
"The guys did a great job today.  We had a lot of different players score goals and everyone got in the game," Head Coach Jason Lockner said.  "Briggs with our face off unit and transition game is giving us a lot of opportunities to put the ball in the back of the net.  This team works very hard and it shows on the field.  Looking forward to a big game on Saturday."
 
Alfred will be home again this Saturday for an Empire 8 matchup with Utica College at 1PM in Yunevich Stadium.
