Brothers Daniel Mahoney and John Mahoney tallied back-to-back goals to start the third and Stevens' first increased the Saints lead to 10-0, before Clarkson was able to score their first goal of the game at 4:03 of the third.

The Golden Knights added two more in the third, but St. Lawrence continued with a strong fourth quarter, outscoring the Golden Knights 5-3 for the 16-6 win.

"It was another good effort across the board," said head coach Mike Mahoney. "It was nice to see a lot of guys contribute in many different ways. We look forward to getting back home on Saturday for another conference match up."
