INSIDE THE NUMBERS:
- Assumption scored an NCAA Division II record 34 goals with 22 assists on 74 shots. The 34 goals broke the previous record of 33 which had been previously been set by Pace (1994), Wheeling Jesuit (2016) and Colorado Mesa (2018).
- Reid's 22 points on 13 goals and nine assists is a new NCAA All-Division record for points, breaking the previous record of 21 set by Plymouth State's Scott Walden in 1994. The previous DII record for points was 18, set by Mark Gjekaj of Pace in 1994. Reid's goal mark was a new DII record and matched the All-Division record of 13, set by Ed Ryder of Oneonta in 1987 and Tim Chapman of Gordon in 2001.
- Reid's 22 points on the day give him 170 for his career, breaking the previous school record of 152 points by Justin Cecil '95. Reid also became just the second Assumption player to surpass 100 career goals. Farrell's seven goals in the contest is tied for the third-highest total in a single game.

Colby Hamwey (West Yarmouth, Mass. / Wilbraham & Monson) earned the victory in net as he made two saves in 18:02. Chris Schultz (Bayville, N.Y. / Locust Valley) was one of four reserves who replaced Hamwey and he finished with a team-high three saves in 7:08.
