- At the nine minute mark, Yale added a power play goal, but it was Colgate's turn to score less than a minute later, with Neumeier sneaking a beautiful shot into the bottom right corner.
- The Raiders had two strong penalty kills to end the first period to ensure the score stayed tied.
- Colgate had a very strong second period, where they capitalized on a power play with a DiPaolo goal to take the lead, 3-2.
- At the 16 minute mark of the second, the Raiders managed to either block or save a Yale barrage of eight shots over a 50 second period.
