For the Royal Comets, senior Nick Lenhard was the leading scorer with 2g-2a. Between the pipes, Colin Mix finished at 52% (11 saves).

COMMENT:   It was wonderful to see that when the National Anthem started playing at Rush-Henrietta this afternoon, student-athletes and their coaches in at least three other sports stopped what they were doing and stood at attention. A number of softball players were sitting on the ground and jumped up when they heard the Anthem coming from the speakers on the stadium field. Well done Royal Comets.
