For the Dolphins, junior Robert Moskwa (Syracuse, N.Y.) netted the game-winner off of an assist from sophomore Steve Blackwell (Oswego, N.Y.). Junior Shaun Simpson (Syracuse, N.Y.) also scored for Le Moyne (5-1-2, 3-1-1 NE-10), while senior Tim Mann (Silver Spring, Md.) turned back four shots. For the Purple Knights, senior Kimoi Seale (Brooklyn, N.Y./Prospect Heights) netted his second career goal, and first this season, off of an assist from junior Glenn Sherman (Arlington, Vt./Arlington Memorial). Sherman’s assist was his 43rd career point, moving him into fourth place in the program’s 46-year history. Senior Patrick Melvin (Belmont, Vt./Black River) stopped 10 shots for Saint Michael’s (3-6-0, 1-4-0 NE-10). Following a scoreless first half, Le Moyne opened the scoring 9:25 into the second period on Simpson’s first goal of the season, assisted by senior Mariel Lako (Rochester, N.Y./Penfield). Saint Michael’s finally tallied the equalizer with 9:18 to go, as Seale stuffed home a pass from Sherman to score just the fourth goal Le Moyne has allowed this season. The tie was short-lived, however, as just 1:39 later, Blackwell slipped a pass to a wide-open Moskwa in front of the goal, and with Melvin out of position, Moskwa easily found the back of the net. Saint Michael’s plays its next two games on the road (at American International College on Wednesday at 3:30 p.m. and at Merrimack College on October 1 at 1 p.m.) before hosting the University of Massachusetts Lowell on Tuesday, October 4 at 3:30 p.m. Le Moyne hosts the College of Saint Rose on Wednesday at 4 p.m. GAME SUMMARY Le Moyne                      0          2          - 2 Saint Michael’s              0          1          - 1 First Half: No Scoring.
