Rosson reemerged in the third stanza for the last three of his goals as the Seahawks netted the first seven goals of the period.  Wooster avoided the shutout in the third as MacVarish beat junior goalie Stu Wheeler (Baltimore, Md./St. Paul's) with 24 seconds left.

The teams were even in the final quarter as Alexander and attackman J.P. Lennon (Huntington, N.Y./St. Anthony's) notched the first two for the Seahawks and then MacVarish and McGann scored the final two.

St. Mary's dominated the ground ball battle, outhustling the Fighting Scots, 32 to 19, as first-year midfielder Albert Mitchell (Shrewsbury, Mass./Saint John's) scooped up a game-high 12 ground balls while controlling the face-offs with a 16-of-23 performance.

Sophomore Corey McGann (Granger, Ind.) recorded seven saves in 55:57 while freshman Simon Ebbott-Burg (Brookline, Mass.) had one stop and one goal against in 4:03 of relief as McGann was in the penalty box for unsportsmanlike conduct.
