Both games began the same: Penn State and St. Lawrence went back and forth with scoring, one leading the other only to tie the game before the third period.
Instead of making a comeback during the third period, the Nittany Lions (4-9-3, 1-2-3 College Hockey America) continued their trend of third-period losses and allowed the Saints (9-7-1, 4-2-0 ECAC) to score tie-breaking goals to get ahead and eventually win both Monday’s game, 3-2, and Tuesday’s game, 4-2.
On Monday, after entering the third period with a one-goal deficit to the Saints, the Lions scored the equalizer halfway through the frame.
