Cristophe Tellier started the scoring with a one-timer from the point off a feed from Jayden Lee, as the puck took a deflection and beat the Dartmouth goaltender.

After Dartmouth evened it on the power play, the Bobcats took control as Sam Lipkin's tally started the run in the second. Victor Czerneckianair had an #SCTop10 play, batting the puck out of the air and into the net to make it 3-1.
