GAME FACTS

• The teams met for the first time.
• Both teams took 32 shots, while Manhattanville held a 35-25 lead in faceoffs.
• After totaling three points in his first 19 games as a Purple Knight, Dukes now has five points over his last three contests, having tallied one point in both postseason games last season.
• Beaver had four points in his first 32 career contests entering Friday night.

THE ACTION

• Both teams took 12 shots in a scoreless first period.
• Just 12 seconds after the expiration of a Purple Knight penalty gave the visitors a power play, Rolston tallied the game's first goal, firing a shot from the blue line at the six-minute mark of the second period.
• D'Elia made it 2-0 with 12:05 gone, tipping home sophomore Corey Popowcer's slap pass from above the right circle into the slot.
• The Purple Knights scored a shorthanded marker of their own in the waning seconds. After Ciancio blocked a shot from the slot, Dukes moved the puck to Allain, who founded a skating Ciancio. Ciancio tossed a shot from the right circle on Woods, but the rebound wasn't controlled, and Ciancio followed his shot and backhanded the loose puck home with 17 seconds left.
• With Murphy pulled for an extra skater in the closing minutes of regulation, Saint Michael's drew even, with Dukes taking possession behind the Valiant cage before slipping a shot through the slot for Beaver, whose blast hit the net at 18:14.
• Just 30 seconds into overtime, junior Artem Mateichenko got behind the Purple Knight defense for a brief breakaway on Murphy, who turned him aside.
• The 3-on-3 extra session ended near the midway point, as Dukes slid a pass through the slot toward the right post, where Macdonald had a stride on his man and tipped the winner home with 2:34 gone.
