Jacob Visalli assisted.
Caleb Hawkins scored at the 7:55 mark off a
Zack Novelli pass to put the Bearcats ahead 2-0.
Visalli found the back of the net with his own goal as Novelli picked up another assist before Bethany (3-9, 1-5) scored with 1:36 to go in the first.
Coholich quickly responded with another goal this time with a helper to
Tyler Condrasky. With two seconds remaining in the first, Novelli scored a goal of his own to give SVC a 5-1 lead going into the second.
In the second, the Bearcats saw goals from Condrasky, Visalli and
James Carden as the Bison added another goal. Saint Vincent led 10-2 at the break.
The story remained the same in the second half with SVC outscoring Bethany 8-2 in the third and 5-0 in the fourth to win by 19.
Visalli led the team with eight points (6G, 2A) with
Jordan Billet scoring five goals and helping on two others.
