WESTMINSTER, Md. – Mike Hatton (Corning,

reeled off the game's next five to build a five-goal
lead.
Hatton bookended the run with two of his three
tallies.
McQuade pulled the visitors within 6-2 just 21 seconds into the
second period before Preston re-established the five-goal advantage
1 minute, 19 seconds later.
Four straight Poet tallies, including back-to-back scores from
Sean McCorroll trimmed the defict to 7-5 at the
intermission.
Rickels finished a Hatton feed nine seconds into the third quarter
before a McQuade man-up goal made it an 8-6 game with 13:04 to play
in the period.
Four straight McDaniel goals pushed the lead to its largest at 12-6
with 7:06 remaining in the third quarter.
Mike Neumyer and McQuade closed the margin to 12-8
with 5:56 to play but Matt Dean (Glen Burnie, Md./St.
Vincent Pallotti) set the final margin with an unassisted
tally in the final minute.
