Game Highlights

• Bowdoin found an equalizer under four minutes into the second period. Michael Dinges had the puck along the right boards and backhanded a centering pass to Jack Barbro who wristed a shot from between the circles.
• Tufts took advantage of a power play late in the frame to make it 2-1. Cole Dubicki carried the puck up the ice and found Bazianos who moved left in the zone. Bazianos passed right to Liam O'Hare for a power play goal.
• Two minutes later, Tufts made it 3-1. John Mulvihill came into the zone on the right and built a two-on-one with Marcus Sang. Mulvihill drew the defender and goalie before dishing left to Sang who beat Jacob Osborne stick side.
