BOSTON - Nine Atlantic Hockey America (AHA) programs competed on Saturday, with three programs earning sweeps in conference series.

Sacred Heart took down Niagara 4-2 to cement a sweep of the Purple Eagles on the road.

Different Pioneers scored all four goals, and Sacred Heart senior defenseman Noah Ellis was the only skater to record a multi-point game with two (1G-1A).

After trailing 0-1 to Robert Morris at the first intermission, (RV) RIT managed to even the score in the middle frame.

The pair of programs traded goals in the third period, and the score was 2-2 by the end of the 60:00 session, sending the game to overtime.

In overtime, freshman forward Evan Konyen only needed 32 seconds to take a win for the Tigers on home ice.

Sophomore goaltender Jakub Krbecek made 24 saves in the home win.

A day after being shutout, Army West Point gave Mercyhurst a taste of its own medicine and blanked the Lakers 5-0 in Erie, Pa.

Three Black Knights tallied multi-point efforts, and sophomore JJ Cataldo made 19 saves in his third shutout of the season.

(RV) Bentley senior forward Jake Black netted two of his squad’s three goals, en route to a 3-1 sweep-clinching victory of the (Air Force) Falcons.

Bentley sophomore forward Michael Mesic also recorded two points (1G-1A) in the win.
