Throggs Neck, NY - The University of Mount Saint Vincent faced a tough test against Maritime, falling 22-11 in a high-scoring contest. The end result dropped UMSV to 6-8 overall and 3-2 in Skyline play.
The Dolphins struck first with an early goal from Alfred Lamptey after winning the first faceoff the contest. Maritime, however, quickly took control, stringing together a dominant first half. A relentless offensive surge gave the Privateers a commanding 14-2 lead by halftime, putting UMSV in a tough hole.
Despite the deficit, the Dolphins showed resilience after the break. Chai Dunlap helped lead the charge with multiple goals, including a pair on man-up opportunities, while Mattias Remes and Nigel Walker added key scores to spark the offense.
