Berkle on the rise

Berkle is currently on a three-game point streak after recording two points in Friday’s game and scoring the lone goal for the Falcons on Saturday. The streak is the longest of his career.
Berkle has great potential if he is intense all the time like he is in practice, Coach Chris Bergeron said.
“He has some grit to him,” Bergeron said. “Just like every freshman, he is trying to find some consistency every day.”
The men behind the assists
Freshman Ryan Carpenter and sophomore Cam Wojtala both have recorded 10 assists on the season to lead the Falcons. Wojtala is just one assist away from his total last season.
