• Salisbury was led Nathan Blondino who had four goals, while Brendan Brownwell had three goals and Thomas Cirillo had two tallies.
• The Sea Gulls outshot RC 41-33 and held a 34-16 edge in groundballs. SU was able to win 18-of-23 face-offs on the day.

• A Bromwell goal with just over a minute left to go in the quarter sparked six unanswered goals as the Sea Gulls went up 8-1 and would take a 9-2 lead into halftime.
• Jackson sparked an RC rally with a goal at the 11:51 mark of the third quarter followed by back-to-back goals by Dishaw to make it 10-5.

• Ian Davies made six saves and Burke McManus made five stops for RC in net.
