The 18-year-old management freshman tallied four markers -- including the game-winner with 91 seconds remaining -- and set up another, as the Redmen rallied from a three-goal deficit to outlast Bishop's 12-11 on Thursday. He then scored once and set up another in a 13-7 home-field win over Carleton on Saturday. Rohrbach is a product of West Windsor Plainsboro high school in New Jersey, where he earned all-American honours and also played for the elite state team.
