DANIEL RILEY notched his 12^th goal of the season in the 15^th minute when ADAM BONVILLE sent a cross in to the box and found Riley who sent it in to the back of the net. NATE COONS made it 2-0 in the 31^st minutes scoring an unassisted goal to give him two on the season. Riley scored the final goal of the first half, when he connected on a rebound shot in the 39^th minute on an assist from KYLE PUJATS. St. Edward's outshot the Falcons, 13-3 in the first frame.
 
In the second half, the Hilltoppers turned it on even more. Bonville would score his first goal of the game just five minutes into the period on an assist from CHAZ WASHINGTON. HAIDEN STILES, who saw his first action of the match to start the second half, immediately made an impact scoring right after Bonville to make it 5-0. KARL DEZOETEN assisted on the play. Stiles wouldn't stop there as he scored two more goals. One came in the 57^th minute and the other in the 62^nd minute. Bonville assisted on both goals. Bonville scored his second goal of the match in the 77^th minute on a pass from JOSH TAYLOR to make it 8-0. JASON AIKEN capped off the scoring with just 26 seconds left on an assist by SAM BURNS.
 
St. Edward's outshot the Falcons, 16-1 in the second half and 29-4 in the match. After scoring just two goals last week, the Hilltoppers busted out with 12 goals in the two matches this week.
