Zach Wilfong and Jarrid Johnson scored three goals apiece for Saint Vincent, while Evan Chateaneuf and Ryan Kearney each scored twice.  Luke Swerdlow and Gavin Bates added one goal apiece for the Bearcats.

Johnson scored the first goal of the contest with 9:23 left in the first quarter, before the Griffins evened the score just a minute later.  Chateaneuf and Wilfong then scored goals 10 seconds apart to put the Bearcats up 3-1 with just over six minutes left in the first stanza. 

The Griffins pulled it to within one with a goal two minutes later, and the first quarter ended with SVC ahead 3-2.

Wilfong then scored for the second time at the 8:35 mark of the second quarter, as he curled from behind the net and let the shot go while falling to the ground, to put SVC up by two.  The Griffins then scored two quick goals to tie the game at four, before Kearney and Johnson each found the net, giving the Bearcats a 6-4 lead with 7:45 left in the first half.

Wilfong's third tally of the game, with 2:44 left in the second quarter, was sandwiched between Seton Hill goals, and the Bearcats took a 7-6 lead into halftime.

The game was a back-and-forth battle in the second half, with the Griffins scoring two quick goals to open up after halftime, taking their first lead of the game with 11:34 left in the third. 

The teams then shared the lead twice, before Bates, Johnson, and Kearney scored within 90 seconds to put SVC ahead 11-9 with 5:30 left in the fourth quarter.

Seton Hill answered back with three goals of their own, going up 12-11 with 2:30 left in regulation, and then Swerdlow tied it up for SVC with just under two minutes to go.

Over the next 90 seconds, the teams shared possessions with neither getting a prime scoring chance.  The Griffins called time out with 10.8 seconds left and the ball in their end, and on their ensuing possession, after a number of passes deep in SVC territory, Justin Starkey beat the clock and sealed the win with a shot from 10 feet out with just a half second left on the clock.

The game was physical from the start, with a total of 19 penalties called.  The Bearcats had 11 man-up opportunities, but were able to cash in with a goal on only three.

Joel Zalesky led Seton Hill (5-5) with three goals, while Ben Petchel and Chris Horigan each scored twice.

Johnson recorded a five-point day for the green and gold, as he added a pair of assists to his three goals.  Swerdlow also picked up a pair of helpers, while Kearney, Wilfong, and Chateaneuf all had one assist.

With the loss, the Bearcats fall to 2-4 on the season.  They return to action on Saturday, hosting Ohio Wesleyan at 1pm.
