Kieran Leffey tallied a hattrick, and Michael Nygaard ’23 added a goal to secure the 5-1 victory over Iona. Angelo spoke on his thoughts of the victory, “It was a good team win. We definitely deserved it. Everyone gave their best effort and we came out of the game with a huge 5-1 victory. Our sophomores really stepped up scoring all the goals and Timmy was great in net.”
