Bentley clinched its first Atlantic Hockey regular season title in program history last week with a 4-3 win at RIT.

The Falcons are the #1 seed in the upcoming Atlantic Hockey playoffs that start March 3 and will have home-ice advantage throughout the postseason.

Bentley scored all four of its goals in the second period by Stephen Castagna, Chase Davis, Arlo Merritt and Jake Black.

They led 4-2 at the end of the second period and throughout almost all of the third period until RIT scored an extra-attacker goal with 49 seconds remaining. Bentley was able to run out the clock to secure the victory.

The Falcons improved to 18-9-5 overall and 16-4-4 in Atlantic Hockey.
