Boxscore

SCHENECTADY, NY - Senior defender Brendan Milnamow potted two goals and sophomore forward Adam Presizniuk had a career-high four points in Union's 6-0 victory against non-conference foe American International on Tuesday night.

Milnamow extended his point streak to five games. During that span he has registered eight points, including eight points, and three multi-point games. He now has a career-high six goals and 10 points for the season.

Presizniuk totaled a goal and three assists and now leads the team with seven goals and 15 points.

Sophomore goaltender Corey Milan stopped 15 stops for his eighth victory of the season and 14th of his career. He shared the shutout, which was Union's first blanking Dartmouth, 0-0, on Feb. 9, 2008.

Enter the game Union's top period has been the second, outscoring its opponents 18-10. The team added to that number with four goals - the third time this season it has scored four in a single period. Milnamow highlighted the second stanza with a pair of goals. The first came at 5:55 and was an unassisted shorthanded marker after a nifty toe-drag gave him a clear lane to the net.  The second came at 12:05 on a rebound off a shot by senior forward Matt Cook.

Presizniuk, who had the second assist on Milnamow's second goal, scored his team-leading seventh of the season to put Union up 2-0 15:42 into the second.

The team's first goal, the eventual game-winner, came off the stick of freshman forward Randy Hanagan. The goal, which was the second of his career and second in as many games, was assisted by freshman forward Kelly Zajac.

In the third, sophomore defenseman Brock Matheson scored his first career goal and gave Union a 5-0 advantage at 8:32 into the period. Presizniuk and sophomore forward Stéphane Boileau each picked up the helpers.
    
Union's defense was the story in the first, limiting American International without a shot for the first 5:26. Despite two power-play chances during the first half, the Yellow Jackets didn't have a try on net.

At the other end, the Dutchmen registered 16 shots on goal - the eighth time this season they have eclipsed the 15-shot mark in a period this season. Union's best chances came on a wrap around by sophomore forward Justin Pallos and a shorthanded wrist shot by sophomore John Simpson.

The Dutchmen outshot the Yellow Jackets 48-19 and went 2-for-5 on the power play, while killing all five penalties.

Union continues its busy schedule with a pair of games at Maine beginning on Friday, Dec. 12 at 7 p.m. The team concludes its 2008 part of its schedule on Saturday, Dec. 13 at 7 p.m.
