\nIthaca seized momentum in the second quarter, powered by consistent faceoff wins from Liam Alberti<\/a> that created extended offensive opportunities. With improved ball movement and more time of possession, the Bombers outscored Scranton throughout the frame and carried an 8\u20134 lead into halftime. Will Kleine<\/a> scored his second goal of the contest a minute into the quarter followed by three-straight efforts from Tim Rogers<\/a>, Harry O’Neil<\/a> and Brendan Occhino<\/a>. After the Royals made it 6-4, the Bombers would end the stanza seeing two more goals scored by Ethan Adrid<\/a> and Tim Rogers<\/a>.

\nScranton made a push in the second half in an effort to close the gap, but Ithaca’s defense held its ground. The Bombers stayed composed under pressure, using disciplined rotations and timely clears to maintain their advantage. Despite a late push from the Royals, Ithaca controlled the tempo and protected its lead to secure the victory. Ithaca opened the third quarter seeing Adrid complete a hat trick and in the fourth quarter, Andrew Minard<\/a> stood tall in goal as he notched three saves in the final 15 minutes to preserve the win. Minard finished 11 saves and Liam Alberteli won 18-of-25 of his faceoffs in the x.
