  • The Camels opened the scoring with 6:19 remaining in the first quarter. Matthew Sofarelli delivered a behind-the-cage feed to Liam Horkan, who found the right side of the net.
  • Connecticut College cashed in another tally about four minutes later when Harrison Zmijewski fired a step-down shot to make it 2-0.
  • With 1:10 left in the stanza, Nick Marvin scooped up a loose ball in front of the cage and snuck a shot past Camel goalie Patrick Hogan to cut the lead in half (2-1).
  • Andrew Rainville added a goal for the visitors with 15 ticks remaining to establish a 3-1 score after 15 minutes.

  • Middlebury tacked on another marker with 2:42 left in the session. Ford tucked a tough-angle shot inside the right panel for a 5-4 contest at the half.
  • The Panthers held the momentum as four different players found nylon to grow the lead to 8-5 with 2:58 to go. Ged Gengras capped the spurt via a ripper from 20 yards out that sailed into the center of the net.
