HIGHLIGHTS

• Trinity nearly scored 51 ticks into the contest on a blistering shot between the circles from Richard Boysen. Netminder Andrew Heinze stood tall and made the save.
• The Panthers had a strong chance at 5:55 when Andrew Seaman picked up the loose puck on a Bantam turnover and tried to tap it in the net, but goalie Devon Bobak poked it away.
• Middlebury had back-to-back opportunities at the 9:29 mark. Dante Palombo fired a shot in front of the net that bounced off Bobak's pads. Jack Silverman picked up the rebound and had his attempt steered aside by the Trinity goaltender.
• Boysen had another chance to get on the board off a shot in front of the net that Heinze stopped on with 13:11 elapsed.

• The Bantams responded just over a minute later. Ryan Panico sent a pass over to Connor Sedlak, who laced a shot over Heinze's glove to tie the game at one apiece.
• Trinity did not let up, gaining a 2-1 lead 30 seconds later. Jakob Karpa fired an attempt from the blue line that James Barbour redirected into the net.
• Revy Mack tied the game up with 6:02 expired in the stanza. Tangled up with a Bantam defender, Reece Brednich collected the puck and delivered it to Mack, who fired a laser from the top of the right circle that snuck through the legs of Bobak to knot the score at 2-2.
