Last Sunday, the Crimson put in a dominant second-half performance to beat Vermont. Senior co-captain Mike Fucito, junior Adam Rousmaniere, and senior John Stamatis all scored beautiful goals in the 3-0 win. “It’s been a good start,” Akpan said. “The first game was a little rough, especially with emotions...
