NEW HAVEN, CT – Elms College junior

score off a Taylor Sasloe (Norwalk, CT) pass from
15 yards away at the 36:09 mark.
Five minutes into the second period, Sasloe recorded another assist
when he found Mike DaSilva (Stratford, CT), who
finished the scoring play to give the Falcons a 3-1 edge.
Kyle Kelly (Stratford, CT) capped the scoring in
