How it Happened
Southern New Hampshire scored 29 seconds into the game when Stone Devlin redirected a shot from the blue line off the stick of Adam Boucher for the early Penmen goal.
Linart was able to capitalize on the man-advantage at 6:22 in the second period to tie the score at 1-1 whilst waiting in front of the net for a one-timer off a nice feed through the slot from Alberti.
Martignetti gave the Hawks a 2-1 lead with a goal right before the buzzer sounded in the second period, putting it into the back of the net with just one second on the clock, as he collected the rebound in front of the net off of Connolly's shot from the blue line.
Stone Devlin tied the score at 2-2 for SNHU with 15:52 remaining in the third period as he wristed in a shot from in front of the goalie crease after controlling a pass from Kyle Slingerland off the end board.
The Penmen scored the game-winning goal at the 9:02 mark of the third period, as a shot from the left point from Nic Dallaire was rocketed past Carroll to the top-right corner of the net.
