• Jack Jaynes scored three straight to close out the first quarter and put the Pride up, 5-2.
• Tremblay narrowed the gap to within two exactly one minute into the second period. The sophomore juked a defender for a long shot just past the restraining line.

Tremblay skirted the line in front of the benches before slicing through defenders for the Falcons fifth goal of the night at 4:14 in the second. Eight seconds later, Strecker connected for his first goal of the game after Coleman won the faceoff and grabbed the groundball.
