CHESTERFIELD, Mo. – Men's ice hockey excels past #2 Robert Morris last night with a strong second period comeback to win 6-3 and move on to the semifinals today.

Neither team was able to find the back of the net in the first period before the scoring spree unleashed for both teams in the second. Joel Homberg was the first to score for the Warriors at the 4:16 mark from Adam Vannelli and Ryan O'Toole to put the Warriors ahead 1-0. The lead did not last long as 18 seconds later Robert Morris snuck a goal in to tie it 1-1. Under three minutes later Robert Morris scored again to take their first lead of the game 2-1. They extended their lead at the 8:10 mark with another goal to go up 3-1.

This only motivated the Warriors and at the 8:44 mark Tech took advantage of a powerplay when Filip Schultz scored from Cole Barney and Alex Potter to get back within one of Robert Morris (3-2). At 12:13 the Warriors found the back of the net on an off angle by Zach Bennett from Matej Krasny and Axel Low for Tech to tie the game 3-3. The Warriors were not satisfied and claimed another goal less than 30 seconds later from Nick Papandrea and assisted by Potter and Fabian Granqvist. The Warriors led the game 4-3 headed into the third period.

In the third period, Tech held Robert Morris scoreless while scoring two more themselves. Schultz tallied another goal at the 15:23 mark from Holmberg and Alex Arnold and just before the game ended Tech snuck in another by Granqvist from Bear Ross and Papandrea. The Warriors won the game 6-3 to advance to the semifinals against #1 seed Adrian.
