Manke, who entered the season with just two career goals, currently sits tied for fifth in the SCAC with three goals on the year after scoring a goal in each of the Bulldogs wins last week.

Sophomore forward Greyson Pinto of Southwestern scored a goal and added and assist for three total points in the Pirates’ 5-0 win over ETBU last Friday.
