  • SNHU responded by scoring four of the next five, including a pair from Renaud, to trim its deficit to 7-4 with 3:36 left before the half. The Hawks would score with 1:46 on the clock and bring an 8-4 advantage into the break.
  • Renaud opened the second-half scoring 1:50 in to trigger a 3-0 run that pulled the Penmen within 8-7 with 4:32 to go in the third, but Saint Anselm would run off three straight of its own to lead, 11-7, going to the final frame.
  • After the Hawks scored the first two to open a six-goal lead, SNHU scored three-in-a-row, including two from Graziano, to get back within 13-10 with 3:35 left. Saint Anselm won the ensuing draw control and never gave the ball back.
