Ron Doctor his 500th career victory.
Patrick Hackler led the Lakers with four goals and an assist. Grayson Brunelle scored three goals, while Evan Brunelle had three goals and an assist.
Doctor, who has announced he will retire at the end of the season, started the program in 1982, with the first varsity season following in 1983.
"I always look at the wins as 'program wins,'" he said. " I've had so much support over the years from the school district, the parents, and all of them."
Doctor also praised veteran assistant David Pittard for his contributions.
"(Pittard) has been a volunteer with the team as our defensive coach for over 30 years. He deserves so much credit for the success," Doctor said.

Rye's scheduled game Monday at Nyack was postponed at the request of the Rye City School District. The game was rescheduled for Tuesday at Rye, Nyack AD Joe Sigillo told The Journal News.
"The Rye City School District is in the process of notifying parents of student-athletes of the measles outbreak in Rockland County so they are aware of the potential risks," Rye Superintendent Eric Byrne said in a statement.
