The 7-4-0 Fairfield Mustangs were riding a five game winning streak when they ran into the Trumbull Eagles. The Eagles, struggling for quality wins and goals- got both!
AJ DiMasi had an all-time night, notching 6 of Trumbull's seven goals. His performance tied the team record for goals in a game shared by Anthony Criscuolo '04 and Cody Lee '94. DiMasi did have some help as fellow linemate, Nate Walker, scored a goal of his own and assisted on four of DiMasi's six. Matt Paolini was fantastic, turning back 48 of the Mustang's 52 shots. The Eagles earned a very solid 7-4 victory.

With a young team, leadership is extremely valuable. The Trumbull Eagles will look to seniors AJ DiMasi, Sean Gallagher and Matt Paolini to take the lead during the 2012-2013 season. All three played key roles in the Eagle's championship run last season and understand the work ethic needed to be successful both on and off the ice.
Trumbull standout, Dan Miressi, is leading the way for the Framingham State University Rams. The junior leads the team in scoring with 10 goals and 7 assists in the first ten games of the season. His 17 points is highest in the MASCAC (Massachusetts State College Athletic Conference) and puts him among the nation's leading scorers. http://www.fsurams.com/sports/mice/index
