THROGGS NECK, N.Y. (Nov. 9, 2009) – The Maritime hockey team scored four unanswered goals Saturday night to defeat Suffolk County Community College, 5-4, at the Parkwood Sports Complex in Great Neck.

Maritime got three straight goals from sophomores Cullen Bozza (Smithtown, N.Y./Smithtown), Steve Miller (Queens, N.Y. /Monsignor McClancy) and Greg Dolan (Floral Park, N.Y./St. Mary's) to tie it before freshman Daniel Tyx (Amherst, N.Y./Williamsville East) scored the game-winner at 7:37 of the third to give the Privateers the 5-4 advantage. Senior Matthew Franzek (Amherst, N.Y./Amherst Central) tallied Maritime's first goal in the first period. Bozza also added two assists as did senior Alexander Leoutoakos (Astoria, N.Y./Xavier).

 

In goal, freshman Matt Tatarian (Deer Park, N.Y./Half Hollow Hills) made 12 saves on 16 shots by Suffolk to earn his third win of the season.
