Right behind Pulla is freshman forward Matthew Wrobel with three goals. Isaac Boamah and Francesco Caorsi have also registered goals for the Brown and White in 2021. Caorsi, a graduate student from Genova, Italy, leads the squad with three assists this year. Pulla, Wrobel, Fredrik Hansen and Mattia Ferretti have all tallied an assist as well.
Graduate student Trevor Wilson and junior Justyn Sandhu have split time in net this season with Wilson getting the nod in the previous two contests against Davidson and West Virginia. Sandhu leads the Bonnies with 16 saves in four games while Wilson has stopped 15 shots in three starts.
