The Broncos again demonstrated their talent on offense with ten players scoring goals, and four of those scoring multiple times. Today's leader was Liam Farrell, notching three goals, followed by Mike Detoy, Jack Wall, and Tom Hendrickson, who each contributed two.
On the Alumni side of the pool, Jay Moorhead '02 and Dan O'Connell '02 contributed two goals each with goals also coming from Geiffrey Phillips '81, Mark Oda '05, and Grant Allison '06, among others.
