Mercyhurst closed out the third quarter with a goal to extend their lead to 10-2.

The Chargers scored the lone goal in the fourth quarter as junior attacker Daniel Steigert (Copaigue, NY) recorded a goal on a man-up opportunity, his fourth of the season, off the pass from freshman Maxwell Odynski (Northport, NY) for what would be the eventual 10-3 score.
