Pshenichnikov scored four goals and added an assist to end with a five-point weekend in Utica’s UCHC opening sweep of Nazareth University. During the first matchup in Rochester on Friday he netted his first collegiate hat-trick, putting the game out of reach after Nazareth crept back into the game during the second period. He also nabbed an assist during a hectic 11-4 win in the series-opener. Pshenichnikov followed up that impressive performance by getting the game-winning goal in Saturday's matchup, earning the first star of the night, and putting the finishing touches on a standout week.
