HOW IT HAPPENED
The Nor'Easters netted the goal of the night as Logan DiScanio scored 5:24 into the first frame with help from Anthony Sciucco and Noah Szretter to boost UNE ahead.
As time ticked off the clock in the opening period, the Rams aimed to level the playing field and the equalizer came with 54 seconds remaining before the first intermission. Kyle Valiquette slapped Troy Ladka's set-up into the back of the twine to lock things at 1-all.

Ryan Kuzmich gave UNE a two-goal advantage 1:01 into the third period.
