KUA got goals from Jackson Davies (2), Jackson Kimelman, Carter Cowan, Nasean Faria, Thomas Ojard, Conal Mulkerrin, Jack Ross, and Lucas Hannay to top Proctor 9-4 in Andover on Wednesday. Davies and Kimelman both scored in the first period, as KUA took a 2-1 lead into the second.

Conal Mulkerrin scored his second goal of the game with just over four minutes left to break a 2-2 and lift the Wildcats to a 3-2 win over a tough Brunswick team on Sunday at the Exeter Invitational. Mulkerrin scored the game's first goal early in the second when he converted on the power play off a rebound from Nasean Faria's shot. Lucas Hannay also assisted on the play. KUA scored its second power play goal just over a minute later when Jack Ross tipped home a Charlie MacLeod shot, with Hannay earning another assist. Brunswick struck late in the second and third to tie the game, but with just over four minutes remaining, Hannay sent a shot toward the Brunswick net that was tipped by Jackson Kimelman. The rebound came to Mulkerrin on the side of the net, and he made no mistake slamming it home for the game winner. Goalie Cam Ingram was excellent in net for the Wildcats, stopping 34 of 36 shots on the day.
