HOW IT HAPPENED:

• In a much more even second frame, the hosts were held to three goals, but once again the Yellow Jackets managed just one tally, a shot by freshman attacker Rusty Stone at 13:48.
• Stone struck again to open the third frame on a man-up marker at 2:46. The Purple Knights responded with two tallies, but the Yellow Jackets beat the buzzer to even the period's scoring as freshman attacker Avery Foye snapped home a shot with no time left on the clock.
• The home side notched the first five goals in the fourth frame, with Foye striking again at 12:26 to close the scoring in the 16-5 final.

BEATTIE BUSTS TURNOVERS RECORD:

• The previous high of six had been accomplished several times, most recently by Luke Allen on April 22, 2017, at Saint Michael's.

• Both the men's and women's team have had this record broken this season; Brianna O'Brien caused eight turnovers against Bentley on February 27 to set the standard for her program.
