EAST MEADOW, N.Y. — The LIU men's hockey team has downed another ranked opponent.

Anthony Vincent's second goal of the game, an empty-netter with 21 seconds remaining, sealed the win as the Sharks defeated No. 20 Alaska Fairbanks, 3-1, on Saturday at Northwell Health Ice Center.

Goaltender Brandon Perrone made 24 saves to improve his record to 6-0-0 this season. 

LIU now has defeated then-No. 12 Ohio State and No. 20 Alaska Fairbanks on Long Island and has tied then-No. 7 Quinnipiac on the road.

On Saturday, Vincent opened the scoring and Noah Kane added a power-play goal in the second period to stake LIU to a 2-0 lead.

Alaska Fairbanks got a goal from Braden Birnie midway through the third period, but Vincent's empty-netter solidified the win.

The teams split a pair of games this weekend. They play two additional games next weekend in Fairbanks.
