Novotny delivered an outstanding offensive performance for the Mariners, tallying three goals, two assists, and eight points across a pair of Skyline contests. The junior forward netted twice in a 2–2 draw at Mount Saint Mary before contributing two assists and adding a goal in a dominant 6–1 road victory over Old Westbury.
