How It Happened
The Beavers were able get on the board first with Alex Lesher (Scottsdale, Ariz.) scoring three minutes into the game. Lee Sipes tallied another for Babson with just over three minutes remaining in the opening quarter for a 2-0 lead.
 
In the second, Jude Marzec pulled the Hawks within one with a man-up goal four minutes into the period. Unfortunately for RWU, that would be the only score the team could muster in the game, as Babson scored three more times in the second for a 5-1 lead going into halftime.
 
Babson would extend the advantage to seven with three more tallies in the third, then ended the game with five goals in the final period.
