After a scoreless first period, the Falcons scored twice in the 2^nd period. The goals came from a pair of freshmen, Arlo Merritt (Halifax, Nova Scotia) and Nicholas Niemo (Middlebury, Vt.).

Merritt's goal came after an outlet pass in the defensive zone by senior captain Marcus Walter (St. Alberta/Alberta) sprung Merritt loose in the neutral zone. Merritt broke into the offensive zone with speed and unleashed a shot from the right faceoff circle that picked out the left top corner for the goal at 2:01 of the 2^nd period.
