The Ephs netted three goals in the second period. Ward Bitter (Manhasset, NY.) scored the initial goal for Williams with 11:44 left in the period. Bates (1-2, 0-1) opened the scoring when Brad Frost (Winchester, Mass.) found the net just 2:12 into the contest. Ben Clements (Ligonier, Pa.) notched his first goal of the season, which cut the lead to one goal with 29 second left in the third period. Peter Thomson (Greenwich, Conn.) added an insurance goal just 11 seconds after Clements’ goal.
