goal of the period.
The second quarter was all Salisbury as they outscored the

took a 17-2 edge to the break.
Salisbury continued to roll in the third quarter, outscoring
York 4-0 as the lead grew to 21-2.
The Sea Gull lead ballooned to 25-2 before the green and white
got a pair of cosmetic goals in the final minute of the game.
Matt Hickman led the Gulls with 10 points on seven goals and
three assists. Patrick Bonanno added five points on four goals and
one assist while Jake DeLillo contributed three goals. Kylor
Berkman had four points on a goal and three assists while Mike
Winter was the fourth starter with multiple points as he had a goal

of the Spartans' four goals.
Senior goalkeeper Matt Keeler (Morton, Pa./Ridley) suffered the
loss as he allowed 13 goals in 25:58 of action. He made six saves
during his stint between the pipes.
Salisbury finished the game outshooting York 65-22 while they
also held a 49-22 edge in ground balls. York was penalized seven
times in the game and Salisbury made the Spartans pay as they
converted six of their seven extra man chances. York was 0-for-4 in
the man advantage for the game. Salisbury won 22 of the
game's 32 face offs while they missed on just one clear in
the contest.
