        THROGGS NECK, N.Y. (Feb. 13, 2012) – The Maritime hockey team extended its winning streak to four by defeating Wagner, 3-2, last Friday, Feb. 3, at Parkwood. The goal scoring came from senior forwards Dan Tyx (Amherst, N.Y./Williamsville East) and Jesse Wynn (Brooklyn, N.Y./St. Edmund's Prep) (Brooklyn, N.Y./St. Edmund's Prep), while the game-winner was off the stick of freshman Vincent Pedulla (Ramsey, N.J./Ramsey) (Ramsey, N.J./Ramsey).

        After falling to Fairfield by a score of 3-2 despite Thomas Kirby's (Rockaway Park, N.Y./Xaverian) final second heroics to push the game into overtime on Saturday, Feb. 4, the Privateers got back in the winning column by defeating arch-rival Kings Point this past Friday, Feb. 10, at home. The power-play was clicking in the first period as the Privateers went three-for-four with goals coming from forwards Nick Galli (Staten Island, N.Y./St. Joseph by the Sea) (Staten Island, N.Y./St. Joseph By The Sea) who registered four points on the night, Tyx and Josh Hempel (Katy, Texas/Cinco Ranch) (Katy, Texas/Cinco Ranch). Pedulla had first period tally that came as soon as a Mariner had penalty expired, but the freshman forward did manage  to get a different kind of special-teams goal, as he scored while shorthanded early in the second period during a Maritime carry-over penalty. Pedulla registered three points alongside junior defenseman Jeff Dolan (Floral Park, N.Y./St. Mary's) (Floral Park, N.Y./Saint Mary's). Wynn got the only other goal in the second while Burger allowed just one goal on 26 shots before being replaced midway into the third by junior D.J.
