Andrew Wein (Barnegat, NJ) and John Rocchio (East Greenwich, RI) had assists on the goal, it was Sabo’s third of the season.

With only twelve seconds remaining in the second period, Assumption College tied up the game at 2-2 when sophomore Marc Labb (Longmeadow, MA) converted on a power play for his second goal of the year.

Both teams came out quick in the third period, each scoring within the first minute of play. Assumption’s Pat O’Kane (Hollis, NH) put home his 7th goal of the season to put the Greyhounds up 3-2, but newly added Pat Welch (Dorchester, MA) answered just :16 later to even up the score.
