The second half featured a late 78^th minute equalizer by Alvernia junior Ryan Kuster.  Just two minutes later, Kuster would net the ball again to win the game for the Golden Wolves, 2-1.

Alvernia held a 27-8 advantage in shots and 20-3 edge in shots on goal.  Lahey and junior Wynton Britton paced the Lions after taking two shots each and Kuster led for the Golden Wolves, taking seven shots.  Sophomore Billy Hanratty and MacDonald will end the season tied for the top spot in offensive points for the Lions, each having three goals (6 pts.).

Mullen registered a total of 17 saves, the highest in a game in his career.  Solsky stopped one shot in the net for the Golden Wolves.
