No. 2 Delbarton outskated Bishop Eustace 5-1 Tuesday at Aspen Ice in Randolph, getting a goal and two assists each from top-line forwards Dan Pressl and Alex Smigelski. Colin Saltiel made 32 saves in the loss.

Matt Schillings scored the lone goal of the first period, sliding a backhanded rebound by Saltiel, and although Pressl twice came inches away from adding to the lead, the game remained 1-0 until late in the second period. At the 10:01 mark, however, Erik Olson picked up the rebound of a blocked point shot and beat Saltiel through a screen to make it 2-0. Three minutes later, however, Bishop Eustace got on the board by catching Delbarton in a chance, and Mike Dwier snapped a shot under the glove of Sean Kaplan to make it 2-1. The Green Wave repsonded in only 22 seconds, however, effectively sealing the game when Smigelski took a feed in the low slot and beat Saltiel.

Delbarton added third-period power-play goals from Alex Velischek and Pressl to provide the final 5-1 margin ahead of its showdown with rival Seton Hall Prep Friday night at Mennen Arena.
