Seton Hill continued their road trip in Erie this weekend with a matchup with Mercyhurst on Sunday afternoon. 

Each team won five matches but the Lakers got bonus points in two matches to just one for the Griffins in an 18-17 win over Seton Hill.  The Lakers improve to 8-2 overall and 2-0 in PSAC action while SHU drops to 4-4 overall and 3-1 in PSAC action. 

Frank Bonura got the Griffins on board with a 13-7 decision win at 125 to put SHU in front 3-0.  The Lakers took the next two matches by decision to take a 6-3 lead over the Griffins after two matches.
