At 12:53, Red Dragons' (7-8-3, 1-6-2 SUNYAC) sophomore forward Dan Broderik scored on a power-play to cut the deficit to one. Just 1:43 later, Marra responded with a goal off a missed shot by Collins to make it 3-1.

At the 9:48 mark in the second period, Marra puts the hosts up 4-1 after he registered his second tally of the game during a Geneseo powerplay. Marra scored into the top shelf from the left side off assists from Collins and senior forward David Ripple.
