STEUBENVILLE, OH – Hilbert's Travis Hicks kept his scoring streak alive in today's 4-1 loss at Franciscan University this afternoon.  The Barons scored two-unanswered second half markers to earn their 2nd AMCC win and improved to 5-9-1 overall.  Hilbert moved to 2-9 overall and is tied with Franciscan at 2-4.

Hicks found the back of the net early in the game when he converted a loose ball off a Franciscan save (shot by Austin Mathis) into the back of the net in the 25th minute.  Hicks has scored one or more goals in the last three games.

Franciscan was able to convert a penalty kick at 34:33 and found the back of the net again just four minutes later to ride their 2-1 lead to the break.

Hilbert pushed to force a tie but in the 78th minute the Barons scored again and stretched their lead to 4-1 with less than 30 seconds remaining in the contest.
