• The second quarter belonged to Logan White, as he played a pivotal role in extending Middlebury's advantage to 18-3, tallying six of the team's nine goals during the stanza.
• With fresh goalies on the field for both squads to start the second half, the Pride found their footing, cutting the deficit to 10 (21-11), with a hat trick coming from Jake Degnan.
• The fourth quarter was the quietest of them all, with Will Ford and Finn McCarthy closing out the scoring as the Panthers eased to the 23-15 triumph.
