Steven Swavely added to that lead seven minutes later when he took a pass from Devin Shore and put it past Minutemen goalie Henry Dill. Eric Schurhamer scored the second power play goal of the game and cap the Black Bears scoring in the third period to make a 3-0 lead.

Hutton and Swavely finished with a goal and an assist each while Shore set up two goals.
