At the 6:21 mark in the second quarter, Carter broke free of his defender and zoomed down the alley where he connected with Lervick and his hot hand.

Yale re-upped their lead to a pair with a goal two-minutes later. With 33.5-seconds remaining in the half, Lervick added an A to his stat line as he fed Christian Kuhn for a shot and a goal in a man-up opportunity. The goal marked Kuhn's sixth of the season.
