Prestifilippo was a big factor in maintaining the Crimson lead from midway through the first to the end of the game. He held off heavy pressure from Dartmouth in the third period of the game and made 17 saves.
Jonas, who played twelve games last year, proved that he can be a reliable goaltender when called upon.
