Stony Brook, 4-8 overall and 2-2 in America East play, answered with goals from Kevin Shea and Adam Marksberry and had a 2-1 lead at the half. Vermont, 5-6 overall and 2-2 in league play, tied it at 2-2 on the first of two straight goals from Mark Prior. The game remained tied at 2-2 until the fourth quarter, when Shea scored his second of the game for the Seawolves from Cappadoro just 47 seconds into the final quarter. Prior then tied it at 3-3 with his second of the game unassisted with 13:49 left before Stony Brook reeled off three straight goals, with Sean Farrell, Cappadoro and George LaFlare scoring. Cappadoro was in on all three goals, assisting on the Farrell and LaFlare tallies.
