Three of Murrell's team-leading four assists have come on Ekblom tallies, all of which have been game-winners. The duo combined for the deciding goal versus St. Mary's, Clemson and Binghamton.

The two linked up in the 31st minute for the only goal in SU's 1-0 victory against No. 2 Virginia on Sept. 27 when Thomas headed home Buescher's corner-kick service. The assist was Buescher's first career point.
