Wheaton won all four first-quarter face-offs and controlled the pace throughout the first 15 minutes, but fell behind 2-1 on Dillon's goal at the 6:49 mark of the opening period. Gregory won 3-of-4 second-quarter face-offs and the Green and White took advantage by scoring the only three goals of the stanza. Dillon notched his second of the night nearly six minutes into the frame, sophomore Alex Lesher (Scottsdale, Ariz.) converted a feed from junior Thomas Jung (Vienna, Va.) at 7:43, and Allen got on the board with a man-up tally 42 seconds later to give Babson a 5-1 lead at the half. Aranalde stopped five shots and Miller came up with four saves in the third quarter to keep the margin at four before the Beavers created separation by scoring three times over the first nine minutes of the fourth. Allen and Leighton traded goals over the first 3:14 of the stanza, but sophomore Will Messner (South Kingstown, R.I.) scored in transition and Allen buried a feed from Duffy just 42 seconds apart to extend the Babson lead to 9-3 with 6:16 remaining. Dillon completed his hat trick off another pass from Duffy with 3:04 left and then netted his final goal of the night 31 seconds later following a face-off violation. The Beavers finished with a 40-29 edge in ground balls and forced the Lyons into 25 turnovers on the night.
