\u201cWhen we get a lot of players involved in our scoring, it really frees up pressure on our main guys,\u201d said UAlbany head coach Scott Marr<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0 \u201cI was pleased how a lot of players contributed to get the win today.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe wanted to get them at our pace to make them play our style,\u201d said Lyle Thompson. \u201cWe slowed it down to get a feel for the offense instead of taking a shot right away.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Miles Thompson<\/a><\/strong> had three goals and three assists, while Ryan Feuerstein<\/a><\/strong> and Bennett Drake<\/a><\/strong> each had a hat trick.\u00a0 Blaze Riorden<\/a><\/strong> earned the victory in goal with eight saves and eight goals allowed in just under 56 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n

For Vermont (5-4, 0-1 AE), Graham Horvath scored four of the team\u2019s nine goals, while Alex Stanko scored twice off the bench.\u00a0 Keeper Justin Rosenberg got the loss with nine saves and 20 goals allowed in 55:35 of play.<\/span><\/p>\n

After Ty Thompson<\/a><\/strong> scored first for UAlbany, Horvath scored three of the next four goals netted as Vermont took a 3-2 lead with 4:50 left in the first.\u00a0 Miles Thompson and Feuerstein scored towards the end of the period, with Nick Bartlett getting a goal in the closing seconds to tie the game at four after one.<\/span><\/p>\n

With Connor Russell<\/a><\/strong> dominating at the faceoff-X for UAlbany, the Great Danes saw Lyle Thompson, Miles Thompson and Drake scoring in succession to send UAlbany up 7-4 in the second quarter\u2019s opening three minutes.\u00a0 Following a Stanko goal, the home team went on another 3-0 run to close the quarter, sending the advantage to 10-5 going into halftime.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lyle Thompson added another goal to the run to begin the third quarter with a low shot through the goalie\u2019s legs.\u00a0 Vermont stopped the streak with an Ian MacKay goal to make it 11-6 with 9:02 left in the third.<\/span><\/p>\n

From there, the UAlbany offense went into high gear, starting with Miles Thompson scoring at the 7:37 mark and setting up Tim Cox<\/a><\/strong> a little bit later for another goal.\u00a0 Matt Garziano<\/a><\/strong> scored minutes later in a man-down situation, with Lyle Thompson adding two more in the period\u2019s final minutes, making it 16-6 after three quarters.<\/span><\/p>\n

Garziano scored again 44 seconds into the quarter, with Lyle Thompson and Feuerstein adding scores to complete the run at 8-0, giving UAlbany a 19-6 lead with 7:40 remaining.\u00a0 Vermont scored three goals late, with Drake adding one for the Great Danes as well, as UAlbany held the advantage and took the victory 20-9.<\/span><\/p>\n

UAlbany will head south to Baltimore on Friday, taking on ranked-foe Johns Hopkins at 7 p.m. on ESPNU.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
