His first strike marked the 100th goal of his career, becoming the fourth player in program history to reach that milestone.

During the contest, the junior allowed just six goals before exiting the game in the 55th minute with a comfortable lead. That performance marked only the third time since 2013 that a Captain recorded at least 15 saves and allowed fewer than seven goals in a single game. McAneney also matched his career-high with two caused turnovers and collected three ground balls during a well-rounded effort....St. Mary's Abe Hubbard led the Seahawks on the offensive end with seven points off of six goals and one assist.

Against Southern Virginia University Ferrara turned in a career-best and team-best performance with seven total points netting goals and dishing out one assist. Ferrara had a hand in each of Salisbury's first four goals netting three unassisted markers before dishing out his lone assist for the afternoon to help Salisbury build a 7-1 run after the first quarter. For the week Ferrara finished with 16 total shots placing 11 of them on cage for SOG% of .688 while adding in a game winning tally as well as one man-up marker...Salisbury's Brett Malamphy turned in another exceptional week for the maroon and gold as he was once again dominant from the faceoff X. For the week Malamphy won 38-of-48 faceoffs for a win percentage of .792 while scooping up a team best 22 groundballs. Against No. 3 York, despite the loss, Malamphy won 17-of-24 faceoffs for a win percentage of .708. Then against Southern Virginia Malamphy lost just three faceoffs the entire game posting his third 20-plus faceoff win performance of the season and second in three games.
