Hilton’s offense was led by senior Tyler Reger, who tallied three goals, and Gianluca Auriuso, who added two. Freshman Cahlan Smith contributed with a goal and two assists in his first Varsity game. Schroeder kept pace through the efforts of Garrett Conger, who scored twice, and Parker Brown and Jonny May, each with a goal. Sophomore goalie Van Bolton was solid in net for Schroeder, making ten saves with a 53% save rate over forty-eight minutes, while Hilton’s Brendan Maxwell recorded a 50% save rate with four saves.

The game saw Hilton take control in the second quarter, scoring four goals, including two in under two minutes. Sophomore Jason Cunningham also earned his first Varsity goal for Hilton.
