[3] He followed that up in his second game a week later with a hat trick. Vitarelli finished his brief 2011 regular season with 7 goals and 6 assists in 6 games played. The Knighthawks won 5 of those 6 games. Vitarelli made his NLL playoff debut with the Knighthawks on May 1, 2011 in a 10-8 loss to the Toronto Rock.
