In the game action, Morsberger had a career-day, leading all players with nine points on four goals and five assists, and on his final tally of the day in the third quarter he became the latest Mariner to reach the 100-career point plateau. For his career, Morsberger has recorded 60 goals and 40 assists in 51 games.
 
He wasn't the only senior to have a big day, as Alberici continued his hot-streak with an eight-point effort on three goals and five assists. Four other Mariners had multi-point afternoons – junior Matt Groom (Bethpage, N.Y.) with two goals and three helpers, freshman Sam Winkler (Moorestown, N.J.) finding the back of the net four times, freshman Maverick Geller (Hood River, Ore.) with a goal and an assist and McClintock with two goals.
 
A total of 13 different Mariners found the scoresheet on the day with one goal apiece coming from juniors Jack Browne (Summit, N.J.) and Zach Hasbrouck (Greenvale, N.Y.), as well as freshmen James Dotsikas (Jacksonville, Fla.), Connor Pitts (Dallas, Ga.) and Charlie Ross (Lakewood, Colo.); and assists coming from Carbone and Ferguson, his first-career point.

Pitts won 16-of-21 face-offs in the game, while also leading all players with nine groundballs. Freshman defender Dom Mirack (Stevensville, Md.) scooped up six GBs, while junior Jason Aiello (Northport, N.Y.) led all players once again in caused turnovers with four. Merchant Marine used three goalies on the day, with Byrne II getting the start and earning the victory after making one save in the first half.
