The helpers were credited to seniors Adam Tracey (Sleepy Hollow, N.Y.) and Connor Busch (Lake in the Hills, Ill.).

Junior Eetu Selanne (Coto de Caza, Calif.) found himself all alone against one Leopard defender and beat freshman goaltender Connor Carbo (Barre, Vt.) to cut the deficit in half. Wentworth had the quick answer with a goal 17 seconds later on a tally by junior Jake Hallisey (Quincy, Mass.), which was set up by classmate Brenden Lloyd (Merrick, N.Y.) and freshman Sam Milnes (Middletown, R.I.). The Colonels then closed the frame with two straight goals, one by sophomore Alex Ochterbeck (Dallas, Texas) and a power play marker from senior Billy Vizzo (Shelton, Conn.) as Curry entered the final period tied at three.
