Despite holding a decisive edge in shots (22–6), the Golden Knights came up short on the road Tuesday afternoon, falling 2–1 at Adelphi.
Enzo Rekka (Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina/Gymnasium of the Catholic School Centre "Sveti Franjo") provided the equalizer just before halftime off a setup from
Jack Kenyon (London, United Kingdom/Harris Crystal Palace), but the Panthers regained the lead early in the second half and made it stand.
Rekka was active throughout the afternoon, leading all players with six shots while scoring his second goal of the season.
Adelphi, tabbed third in the NE10 preseason poll, improves to 2–0 all-time against Gannon after the two programs first met a season ago
