Randaccio Leads White to Victory Over Green

In the annual Green and White game, junior forward James Randaccio paced the white team to a 3-1 victory behind his two goals, including the game-winner. Freshman Nick Smith opened the scoring for White as he buried a wrist shot from the top of the circle about halfway through the first half. The score would stay at 1-0 for White going into the second half.

Green began the half with a great deal of pressure. The ice had tipped, and green was finally rewarded when Colin Wegner one-timed a nifty feed from freshman Frankie Cefalu into the empty net. White came back strong and the puck fell to the stick of James Randaccio during a goalmouth scramble. Randaccio put the game away when he slipped a wrist shot from the slot up under the crossbar with just over 2 minutes remaining.

"I saw a lot of things I liked. The pace was quick, and everyone elevated their games for the final day before first cuts. It was better than I had expected after only three days," said Coach Printz at the end of the game.
"We (the coaching staff) are going to have some tough decisions to make. A lot of guys have made it difficult for us because of their play tonight."

The roster will be trimmed to approximately 25 players on Thursday morning. The final roster will be set by November 14.
