The center recorded five shots on goal in the latest loss after posting one goal and one assist with six shots in the earlier game against New Hampshire. Drew Dyczkowski also had six shots on goal in the most recent game, and Ashley Mandeville contributed two shots from the blue line. Babington, Dyczkowski and Mandeville were among Long Island’s most productive players in the 3-0 loss.
