How It Happened
- The Plymouth State Panthers drew first blood with a goal three minutes into the game. Gordon quickly matched their tally thanks to a shot from Walsh 12 seconds later (1-1). PSU netted five more in the frame, but the Fighting Scots finished off the quarter with a goal to close the gap to four (6-2).
- In a quiet second quarter, each team recorded just one goal to bring the score to 7-3 at the half.
- Gordon came out of the break hot, scoring two goals before the Panthers broke up the scoring threat (8-5) with 3:45 in the third. However, the blue and white did not slow down, firing in three more goals with the last being one at the horn from Fernandez.
- The Panthers, however, regrouped and knocked in a goal in the final quarter which would ultimately be the game-winner as the visitors escaped Gordon's rally, 9-8.
