Box score
Mike DiMare ’14 and Robbie Murden ’17 had a hand in all three goals and Charlie Fennell ’17 posted a shutout in his first collegiate start for the Continentals.

Murden collected his first career multi-goal game with the go-ahead tally in the second period and an insurance score in the third. He broke the scoreless tie halfway through the second when he converted a pass from DiMare for his fourth goal of the season. DiMare and Tyler Lovejoy ’16 assisted on Murden’s second goal of the night with 4:47 left in the third period. Lovejoy’s assist was his first point of the season.
DiMare picked up his fourth power-play goal this season – and fifth goal overall – with 5:19 left in the second period for a 2-0 advantage. He leads Division III with 0.8 power-play goals per game.
