James Chayka scored a career-high five goals, including the game-winner with 12.9 seconds left, to lead #1 Mercyhurst over #9 Dowling on April 6. The senior scored all five goals in the second half, with coming in the decisive fourth quarter. He is the first Laker to score four goals in one period since Cameron McLean pulled off the feat on April 4, 2009, against Dominican (N.Y.). Chayka was honored on April 7 for senior day-he is part of a nine-man class that is the winningest senior group in program history. The unit has gone 50-4 in their careers.
