The Golden Knights have gone 4-2 at home this year where they have outscored their opponents by a 64-55 margin. Sophomore attackman
Brett McAuliffe and Fleming lead an offense that has seen 14 different players find the scoring column. McAuliffe has 35 points on 29 goals and six assists.

Rich Bamberger (13g, 10a) and senior midfielder

Scouting American Int'l (0-13)
The Yellow Jackets are coming off of a 12-5 loss versus Bentley University on Wednesday.
