ANNAPOLIS, MD (Friday, September 28, 2007) -- Sophomore goaltender Eric 
Anderson earned his first career shutout, and junior Nolan Anliker scored a 
pair of goals, to lead Navy's ice hockey team to a 4-0 victory over Lehigh 
Friday night before an estimated crowd of 325 at the McMullen Hockey Arena.

With the win, the Midshipmen improved to 2-0 so far this season, while the 
Ice Hawks fell to 0-2.

Navy and Lehigh meet again Saturday (Sept. 29) night at the McMullen Hockey 
Arena, with the opening face-off set for 7:30 p.m.

Junior Charlie Hymen got Navy all the scoring it would need when he recorded 
his first goal of the young season at 11:50 of the first period, assists 
going to sophomore Keegan Kinkade and junior Jeff Dubinsky.

Anliker put the Mids up 2-0 with a hard wrist shot from the right face-off 
circle that beat Lehigh goaltender Mitch DePace at 5:49 of the second 
stanza, with senior Donnie Horner and junior Jeff Martin earning assists.

Sophomore Nick Hinkley extended Navy's advantage to 3-0 with an unassisted 
power play tally at 8:54 of the second period, his first of the season.  
Anliker closed out the scoring with an even strength goal at 18:20, the 
single assist going to junior defenseman Matt Swezey.

Neither team tallied in the third period.

the Ice Hawks, 52-14.
