The Eagles picked up right where they left off in the second period.  Christiano Tomassetti scored a goal off of a pass from Nick Walker.  Dan Maleski scored a goal to put the Eagles up 6-5, but CBU countered with two later goals to take a one goal lead into the halftime break.

The second half was all Lancers.  Nick Walker scored his second goal of the day in the third period, but CBU stretched their lead to 11-7 at the end of three.  In the fourth, CUI was outscored 3-1.  Messan Moore scored the final CUI goal on a pass from Jeff Wheeler.  Final score- CBU 14, CUI 8.
