RPI scored five in a row to open up the second half, and led 16-7 by the end of the third quarter. Each side scored just three goals apiece in the fourth quarter, as RPI hung on for the win.

Luke Murphy led the way for RPI with six points - four goals and two assists - while Tyler Ruffini and Cooper Manzi each had four points apiece. Garrett Campagna led MIT with a five-point day, scoring a goal with four assists.
