Junior forward Brett Chodorow slid a sweet pass to classmate Trevor Allman at the top of the goal crease that just missed as it slid through.

Jonas certainly did his part to allow for a Crimson comeback. He made saves all night long akin to the goaltender whose style mask he shares--Dominik Hasek.

Among his best came with just under a minute left in the second period. St. Hilaire received the puck at the bottom of the left face-off circle for a mini-breakaway. Jonas came out of his crease to challenge him and kick the puck away.

"[RPI] played much better tonight with their backs to the wall," Moore said. "We had a few more defensive lapses."

The Crimson opened the game with a hustle and energy of a team that had midterms on Monday and wanted the extra day to study.

The Engineers fearsome attack managed just four shots through the first 15 minutes of the game.

Riva scored an empty-net power play goal at 18:34, and senior forward Mark Murphy popped one into the vacant goal with 39.4 seconds left to give the Engineers their seemingly wide margin of victory.

The game had an extremely chippy finish with five penalties called over the last three minutes, including a major penalty on senior forward Rob Millar for slashing.
