The Holy Cross Crusaders kept their winning momentum on Friday night as veterans Danny Lopez and Spencer Trapp each managed a goal and an assist in putting their team up by two goals against the Niagara Purple Eagles. Ben Sokay’s power play goal at 13:25 of the third period pulled the Eagles to within a goal, but they could not manage to get one more marker past Crusader goaltender Paul Berrafato who stopped 19 out of 20 Niagara shots.
The win saw the Crusaders keep pace at the top of the Atlantic Hockey Standings with Canisius while Niagara dropped their fourth straight conference decsion.
