He also scored his first career game-winning goal versus Colorado Mesa in a 15-8 victory. He finished with double-digit ground balls in three contests with a season-best 14 coming versus Wingate. He won double-digit face offs in every game in which he appeared with a season-best 19 wins coming versus Wingate as he went 19-of-25 (.760) versus the Bulldogs. His highest winning percentage came at Belmont Abbey where he went 17-of-20 (.850).
