HOW IT HAPPENED

• Southern New Hampshire scored the only goal of the first period.  With 1:01 remaining, Efimov-Barakov carried the puck out of his own zone and fired a shot that landed in the upper-right corner of the net.  Junior Kaleb Godbout (Williston, Vermont) was credited with the assist.
• Given a man advantage at the start of the second period, SNHU would make it 2-0 on a goal by freshman Charlie Davis (Milton, Mass.).   Davis connected on a one-timer from the left side after taking a feed from Stewart, who was behind the net.  Sophomore Max Kent (Sandwich, Mass.) also assisted on that goal.
• The Penmen opened the lead to 3-0 at 5:06 of the middle period when freshman Phil Heisse buried his second goal of the season with a blast from just inside the blue line.  Efimov-Barakov delivered the puck back out to Heisse for his shot.
• The first of three SNHU goals in the third period was scored by Efimov-Barakov, who finished off a three-on-two fast break with passes from senior Joseph Berardi and Stewart at 8:49.
• Jake Cox, who worked the evening with the veterans, Strawn and Moquin, delivered the first goal of the night from the starting line at 12:12 of the final period.
