Rocco Albanese and Bailey Kirwin followed with goals for the Falcons to make it an 8-2 game, but Saint Joseph's went on to net six of the next eight goals to provide the visitors with a 14-4 cushion at intermission.

St. Joe's kicked off the third quarter with six unanswered tallies, a surge capped by two Tiger Hopkins (Leeds, Maine) goals, to secure a 20-4 advantage with 2:42 left in the third period.
