Senior Alex Rezendes (Nantucket, Mass.) accounted for all three goals with a hat trick in the setback for the visiting Amcats (1-4), as freshman Jeffrey Statile (Ipswich, Mass.) earned his first career victory in goal with two first half saves for Massachusetts Maritime.  Fellow freshman Michael Dolan (McLean, Va.) made four second half stops for the Buccaneers, while freshman Paul Schwarz (Staten Island, N.Y.) made 22 saves in the setback for Anna Maria.  Massachusetts Maritime held a 41-13 overall advantage in shots for the contest in claiming its fourth straight win in the series with Anna Maria.
