At the 10-minute point, the Corsairs were able to extend their lead to 3-1, this time off the stick of Perrone again who had a good day on the ice. Stewart and Maynard each added another assist on that score. The Corsairs allowed one more goal before the second intermission, this one to Anna Maria freshman Carter Anderson who was unassisted on the first of his three goals. UMass Dartmouth held a 3-2 lead going into the final frame.
Anderson struck again for the Amcats just three minutes into the 3rd period to even the score at 3.
