Kyle Brueckman had three assists and Ethan Tallmadge added one assist.

“We were not as sharp tonight as we were Monday night,” Bethel coach Bob Hamlin said. “We left some easy goal opportunities sitting right on the doorstep early in the match. That could have really changed the complexion of the game.”

It was Bethel’s second win over Brookville in 10 days.

“It is hard to play against a team that you just beat,” Hamlin said. “Brookville sat in and looked for that counter. We were not as patient tonight and that played right into their hands. However, in the end I am proud of the team for manufacturing the victory and living to play another day.”
