HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Goals were plentiful early in the contest as the two teams combined for 11 scores in the opening quarter.
  • After Arcadia went up 3-1 less than five minutes in, the Pride responded as goals from Petriccione, DiIorio, and Kirkwood gave Widener a 4-3 lead at the 8:37 mark.

  • Widener extended the lead as the second period opened with tallies from Franks and Gismondi pushing the lead to three.
  • The Knights sliced the advantage to 8-7 before the Pride scored two of the final three goals of the half, taking a 10-8 lead into intermission.
  • The defense clamped down for both sides to start the third quarter as neither squad scored until Kirkwood broke the ice, finding the back of the net off a feed from Franks with 5:54 remaining. Arcadia made a game of it again, scoring just before the end of the period to cut the lead to two heading into the final 15 minutes.
  • Widener dominated the fourth quarter, scoring the first six goals of the frame, two by Franks to seal the win.
