PITTSBURGH, PA – Crawford Healey ripped a shot into the back of the net with less than a second left in double overtime to give the Redhawks (2-9) a 16-15 (2 OT) comeback win over Mt. Union (6-7) on Senior Day.

The Redhawks trailed by as many as five goals and 15-11 with 1:57 left in the third quarter before roaring back.

Bryce Wells sparked the rally with a goal late in the third quarter and Braden Sparks and Crawford Healey added goals to cut the deficit to one.

La Roche had attempts to tie it up including shots by Reykdal and Healey, and one by Jean Thouin that ricochet off the post before Reykdal put home a feed from Jon Monahan to send the game to overtime.

The Redhawks dominated the overtime period outshooting Mt. Union 10-2 and holding a majority of the possessions. Mt. Union's goalkeeper Colin Peters made terrific save after terrific save until Healey ripped the game winner past him late in the second overtime.

Reykdal led La Roche with 6 points and 4 assists. His 10-point performance gives him 57 on the season, breaking his record of 50 that he set last year.
