Trinity Cruises Past Amherst 5-2

As a follow-up to the roundup, here's LPfan 2004 with a recap of Trinity Amherst from last weekend. 

On Sunday, January 28, the Amherst Bantams traveled to Trinity Community Sports Center to face off against the Trinity Bantams. Earlier in the season, on December 3, the two teams tied 3-3 in a game that went into overtime. Both sides went with their starting goalies, Amherst's Conor Girard, fresh off a shutout, and Alex Morin for Trinity.

It took a while for either team to get on the board; the first goal came 17 minutes into the game from Trinity’s Mark Knowlton. They scored 2 minutes after this, with a Barclay Gammill lamp lighter. Amherst responded with 15 seconds left in the first period off a power play goal from Jack Fitzgerald. Trinity scored two more goals in the middle of the second period, the second of which was Gammill's second of the game.  The sophomore from New Canaan CT now has two multi-goal games this season. The first goal was assisted by Tyler Whitney and James Callahan. The assist from Whitney was significant because it marked the 99th point of his collegiate career. Each team scored one goal in the final period, and Trinity earned a 5-2 victory.

This victory puts Trinity at six points ahead of any other NESCAC team, and it gives them control over the conference. They have a 13-3-2 record, and their conference record is 10-1-1. The loss puts Amherst at 7-7-4 and 4-4-4 in conference play. They are currently fifth place in the CAC.

No, thank you, LPfan2004. Now here's a song released 35 years before your birth.
