Five different Pioneers scored, and Sacred Heart men's hockey used a team effort to defeat Canisius 5-2 on Friday night at the Milford Ice Pavilion.

The win pushed the team into a tie for second with Army and only three points back of first-place RIT.

"This game showed good team character," said junior Scott Marchesi, South Portlan, Maine. "We wanted to play a complete game with minimal mistakes and that's what we did."

Sophomore Eric Giosa of Northville, Mich. scored the first goal in the second period with the assistance of Dave Grimson, sophomore, Mozart, Saskatchewan and Jason Smith, senior, St. Lambert, Quebec 1:22 into the period. The goal was Giosa's tenth of the season.

But, Canisius came back with a goal with a goal that tied the game, with 16:48 left in the second. The score became 2-1 after Marchesi assisted by Kyle Tyll, sophomore, Sandy Hook and Drew Sanders, senior, Modesto, Calif. scored but Canisius came right back with a goal with 10:06 left in the game to tie it up once more.

Freshman David Jarman of Toronto, Ontario tallied what would be the game-winning goal and made the score 3-2 at the 1:59 mark of the third period with the assistance of Corey Laurysen, freshman, Carp, Ontario.

"It was good to see all the lines firing. That's what we are going to need heading into the playoffs," said sophomore Bear Trapp, Regina, Saskatchewan.

With 13:09 left in the third period defenseman Paul Ferraro, sophomore, Pleasantville, N.Y. received a pass from Jarman at the point, and with one strong whack of the puck netted his first career collegiate goal, making the game 4-2.

"I think we had a good team effort and it was nice to see all of our lines chipping in to help out with the scoring," Grimson said. "It was nice to get back on the winning track again after our little lapse we have had lately."

Paul's brother, senior Peter Ferraro of Pleasantville, N.Y. tacked on a third goal in the third period to make the final score 5-2. Peter was assisted by Nick Johnson, freshman, Windsor and Laurysen
