Averett (0-13, 0-7 ODAC) got off to the best start, as junior

Sophomore
Zachary Hulbert put his name in the scoresheet in the second stanza, but the Hornets tacked on three more scores to give them a four-goal lead at the half. Hulbert's second goal in the following period seemed to aid a potential comeback, but the visitors' offense kept Averett at bay, as its lead extended to 9-3.
A seven-goal fourth locked up a victory for the Hornets, despite a scoring effort from sophomore
Cory Habick.
Hulbert's two goals, along with an assist gave him the team point lead with three on the day. Peterson had six ground balls, and junior
