The Wildcats took control of the action early in the first period outshooting the Hawks 12-6. They put together eight consecutive shots in the early stages of the period to no avail as both teams went to the locker room scoreless.

Becker went up 1-0 just 4:56 into the second stanza when a shot by junior Tyler Auricchio (Henderson, Nev.) ricocheted to freshman James Wallace (Levittown, Pa.) and Wallace buried his first goal of the season. At the 15:11 mark in the period the Wildcats took the man advantage and made the most of it just :41 seconds later as sophomore Michael Mazzotta (Mars, Pa.) rifled one to the back of the net. Senior Jason Healey (Goshen, N.Y.) and sophomore Drew Kariofiles (Cincinnati, Ohio) picked up assists on Mazzotta's second power play goal of the season. Less than two minutes later the Wildcats extended their lead to 2-1 when sophomore Matt Lanzillotti (Chicago, Ill.) collected a deflected shot from defensive partner Aaron Arm (Plantation, Fla.) and found the lower corner of the net. JWU outshot Becker 12-5 in the second period heading into the locker room.

The Wildcats wasted no time improving upon their lead in the third period when Kariofiles fed sophomore Stefan Brucato (Lake Elsinore, Calif.) and Brucato pushed one in from right in front. JWU finished off the scoring on the day when freshman Austin Donaldson (Calgary, Alberta) skated down ice on his own and placed the puck blocker side high to give the Wildcats the 4-1 lead. Becker managed to outshoot the Wildcats in the final period 11-10 but it wasn't enough as the Wildcats took home the win.

Sophomore Joey Ballmer (Kalamazoo, Mich.) made 21 saves in the win while Greg Hussey (Medford, Mass.) had 30 stops in net for the Hawks.

With the win, the Wildcats improve to 3-2 overall an even 2-2 in the ECAC Northeast while Becker falls to 1-5 and 0-4 in conference play.
