SCRANTON, Pa. -- The Rocket League squad fell in a tight 3-2 (0-6, 3-1, 2-7, 3-1, 4-2) contest to New Haven University in NACE competition on Thursday evening.
 
The Falcons (3-3, 1-3) were feast or famine throughout the match when it came to goals, scoring 13 goals in the two games they won, while only putting up a combined four in the three games they dropped. Matthew Kelly (Gamertag: JKfoshizzle) had four goals and a team-high eleven assists, while Guadalupe Oca (Gamertag: AyeOca) led the way with eight goals and four assists. Jacob Seamans (Gamertag: Jakob) had five goals and one assist on the night.
 
Lackawanna won game one 6-0, then took game three 7-2 to go up 2-1 in the match. The Falcons outshot the Chargers 11-to-8 in the fourth game, but could only muster the one goal, while New Haven scored three to force a fifth and deciding game. Lackawanna got a pair of goals from Oca in the fifth game, but it wasn't enough, as the Chargers from New Haven got the four they needed to secure the win.
