To make matters worse, with merely 15 seconds remaining in the second period, GW scored a shorthanded goal to take a commanding 3-0 lead heading into the final period.

The only highlight of the game for the Hoyas occurred late in the third period when Pete Owen (Freshman, Westwood, MA) skated through the neutral zone, cut to the left circle, and scored on a hard wrist shot that found nothing but net.

Overall, GW outshot the Hoyas 38 to 29.
