A Northeastern player cleared the zone and Goers picked it up, skated in through the right circle and shot it on Thiessen.

Less than a minute later Mike Potacco made it 2-0 UMass Lowell when he scored from the top of the crease at 15:03. Ben Holstrom passed it to the middle from the right circle and Falite and Potacco banged it around in the crease for the score.

MacLeod scored his first goal when he shot in the rebound of a Vitale shot from in front of the net at 15:16. Donovan had backhanded a pass from the Northeastern zone that Vitale picked up and skated in with. Vitale's rebound came right out front for MacLeod to shoot in.

MacLeod tied the score at 2-2 when he scored his second goal of the game at 11:10 in the second period. Donovan came out of the corner with the puck and backhanded a shot through the slot. MacLeod tipped it just inside the left post for the score.

Falite's game-winner came at 12:36 in the third period. He one-timed a pass from Goers that Thiessen initially stopped. The puck with straight up and came down and bounced in the goal with several players fighting in the crease.
