Princeton led 3-2 at the half and had a 5-3 lead going into the final period. The Blue Jays jumped back into the game in the final quarter, scoring twice to even the game at 5-5, but Princeton scored the final two goals of the game for the 7-5 win. Colgan scored while Princeton was a man up with three minutes remaining to put Princeton ahead with three minutes remaining.
