Penn State Behrend Lions Win Big Over Franciscan 5-1

Penn State Behrend took a lead and never looked back as they went on to handle the Franciscan University Barons by a score of 5-1.  The contest was played at Mercyhurst College due to the field conditions at the Behrend Fields.  With the win, Behrend improves their record to 11-3-1 overall and 6-1 in the conference.

Freshman Corey Hamilton (Erie/Mercyhurst Prep) got the scoring going at the 42:44 mark in the first half on an excellent shot that found the back of the net to put the blue and white up 1-0.

The second half was completely dominated by the Behrend Lions as they outscored the Barons four goals to one.  Ryan Banks (Allison Park/Hampton), Danny Poljak (Pittsburgh/Upper St. Clair), Raphael Bretz (Pittsburgh/North Allegheny) and Hamilton would all find the net in the second half.

Senior Dustin Walker (Apollo/Kiski) would add another win to the record books to cap off a great senior day.

The blue and white will be back in action on Wednesday, October 21, as they battle high powered Medaille in a critical AMCC contest.  Behrend will be back at home on Friday, October 23 when they battle Case Western.  On Saturday, October 24 the blue and white will play in another conference road matchup with Mount Aloysius.
