Bridgewater tipped the twine in the 16^th minute for the only goal of the first frame.

The Bears would tack on a pair of goals. First year Carsten Boloz (Southborough, Mass.) notched his first goal of the year and Montrond added his second of the game. The Falcons broke up the shutout when freshman Bennet Jorgensen (Cologne, Germany) converted a penalty kick after a Bridgewater penalty in the box.
