I am especially proud of Rob Hudson, Charlie Erdmann, and Nick Washuta with how they responded to the adversity of last week's game to help us pull this one out." Vermont responded with three unanswered goals in the first quarter following an early Bearcat goal from Sean Makar. Ian MacKay, Ben French, and Liam Limoges scored the trio of goals. Hudson picked up an assist on the French goal after a behind-the-back pass from the midfielder led to an easy French goal. Thomas McAndrew cut the Vermont lead to 3-2 with a BU goal just seconds into the second quarter. However, Hudson and MacKay each found the back of the net to push the lead back to three goals at 5-2. A pair of Binghamton goals in the final minutes of the second cut the Vermont lead to a single goal at halftime. Each team scored a lone goal in the third quarter as each team tightened play in the defensive zone. Hudson's second of the game pushed the UVM lead to 6-4 before Will Talbott-Shere cut the lead to a single goal once again. Hudson completed the hat trick in the opening minutes of the final quarter as he and McAndrew traded goals. Vermont closed the game with three unanswered goals, one from Hudson and a pair from Dawes Milchling, to take a 10-6 final over the Bearcats.
