Ettinghausen found Jennings to make it 8-0 Saints at the start of the second, before Matt Greer put the Golden Bears on the board at 10:52. Mahoney notched an unassisted tally with 7:09 to play and both teams added two more goals before the break, as the Saints held an 11-3 lead at halftime.

Donnelly scored a man-down goal for the Saints off a quick pass from Caffrey to extend the Saints lead to 12-3. The Saints and the Golden Bears each recorded four more goals before the end of regulation, but the Saints early lead and high powered offense sealed the win.

"That was a nice exclamation point to a productive week," said head coach Mike Mahoney '93 P'22. "We really emphasized getting off to a good start and we certainly achieved that. We are excited to head north and jump back into the conference schedule."
