How It Happened
- The Bulldogs scored the opening two goals of the contest before senior midfielder Zach Bergeron got the Greyhounds on the scoreboard with 5:51 left in the period. Freshman midfielder Aaron Judge knotted the score at 2-2 with just under a minute left in the first quarter; however, DeSales scored again with 23 seconds left to hold a 3-2 edge after 15 minutes of action
- The Bulldogs started the second period with a two-minute man-up advantage, and DeSales took advantage with four man-up goals in the first 1:55 of the quarter to push the lead to 7-2. Senior attack Connor James netted a goal a minute later to stop the Bulldogs run, then James added a man-up goal at the 9:22 mark to make it a 7-4 contest. DeSales connected on another man-up goal and scored once more to lead 9-4 heading into halftime
- Moravian scored the first goal of the second half, just 49 seconds into the third quarter as sophomore attack Trevor Dzama knocked in a pass from sophomore attack Brennan Fluehr. After the Bulldogs scored, James netted his third goal of the night off a pass from Dzama, and the goal gave James 100 career points, the ninth player in the program history to reach the milestone. DeSales followed with three more goals before Dzama netted the final goal of the period with a behind-the-head shot inside the left post as the Hounds trailed 14-7 after 45 minutes of play
