CARLISLE, PA-The York College men's

Ryan McNicholas (Fallston, MD/Fallston) goal at the 12:56 mark. The
goal cut the Spartan deficit to 3-2 but the Red Devils scored the

unanswered goals to start the third quarter. York finally got a
man-advantage goal from Mike Klingerman (Chadds Ford, PA/Ridley)

the 11-3 deficit would be too much to overcome.

closed out the scoring with an unassisted goal with 1:37 remaining
in the game.
Kevin Riley started in goal for the Red Devils

contested face offs. York also struggled to clear the ball as they
