Jack Daoust (Westport, Mass.) and Matt Wright (Oregon City, Ore.) rounded out the attack with solo tallies.  

In goal, Teagan Alexander (Foxboro, Mass.) improved to 4-2 overall with an eight-save effort in the first half (seventh start this season). Christopher Tillotson (Monroe, Conn.) stopped six shots over the final 30 minutes.
