Box Score KINGSTON, Ont. – Brock University's men's hockey team snapped a three-game losing streak at Royal Military College on Friday night, with a decisive 6-2 win over the Paladins.

Coach Murray Nystrom shuffled the Badgers lines heading into the contest at RMC, dressing rookie forward Sammy Banga for the first time all season, and put him on a line with Daniel Zweep and Jordan Gignac to open the game. The decision paid off, as Banga and Brandon Kerr set-up Gignac 13 seconds in, giving Brock the 1-0 lead.

Scott Domenico answered back for the Paladins two minutes later, ending the scoring in the first frame.

Matt Abercrombie put Brock ahead with his fifth goal of the campaign 1:23 into the 2nd period, and from that point forward the Badgers never looked back.

Thomas Welsh extended Brock's lead to 3-1 on the PP at 2:55, from Thomas Stajan and Gignac. Stajan made it 4-1 for the Badgers at 3:55, with assists being credited to Kerr and Josh Schram.

The Paladins cut the deficit to 4-2, before Dylan MacEachern scored late in the 2nd to give his squad a big cushion heading into the final period. Mike McGurk became the third Brock player to score their first of the season Friday, as he found net behind RMC Goalie Paul Dorsey at 19:08 of the 3rd period.

In the victory, Dalton McGrath made 22 saves on 24 shots, improving his squad to 4-4-1 on the season.
