9:04, 3rd (Quinnipiac 2, Harvard 4): Donato scored his second goal of the game, with assists to Henry Bowlby and Adam Baughman, less than two minutes after MacMaster's goal to push the Crimson's lead back to two goals.
18:18, 3rd (Quinnipiac 2, Harvard 5): Donato picked up a loose puck deep in the Bobcats' zone and scored on a shot from below the face-off circle on an empty net for the hat trick.
19:40, 3rd (Quinnipiac 2, Harvard 6): Colton Kerfoot picked up a loose puck along the boards and saucered a pass up-ice to Seb Lloyd, who beat Shortridge one-on-one in the closing seconds.
