FIRST QUARTER:
  • PBA controlled the opening 10 minutes of the contest as the Sailfish jumped out to a 7-1 lead. Bennett Duffy provided Tech's lone goal during the Sailfish run off an assist from Griffin Bowie, which tied the game at 1-1 with 12:13 to go.

SECOND QUARTER:

  • Patrick Stewart scored his first of the day off an assist from Sam Sidari to make the score 7-4 with 12:50 remaining.

THIRD QUARTER:

  • Collin Stewart tallied his first of the game during the man-up off a feed from Williams to cut the margin to 10-8 with 14:20 left

  • Terpak scored his second of the game 36 seconds later off an assist from Sam Sidari to extend the Panthers' lead to 12-10. 
  • Patrick Stewart then completed his hat trick off a feed from Williams with 4:25 to go to make it a 13-10 game.
