Senior midfielder Josh Slowinski (Williamsville, N.Y./Clarence) made it 6-1 with 7:11 left after taking a pass from Entenmann, who moved into 10th place on the program's career assists chart with his 63rd helper. Hutchings recorded his 21st goal of the season with 5:55 remaining in the half. Entenmann capped the half's scoring with his 50th career goal with 4:26 left after receiving a pass from Hutchings.

The Dolphins regained the lead with 8:09 remaining, snapping a scoring drought of 26:17. Off a restart of a missed shot, Hutchings sent a pass from the right corner in front of the net to Larson, who fired in his 29th goal of the season.

Each team put three shots on target over the next seven minutes, but the goalkeepers were able to make saves to keep the score at 9-8.

Following a save by junior goalkeeper Riley Smith (Baldwinsville, N.Y./C.W. Baker/Onondaga C.C.), Entenmann cleared the ball and the Dolphins called timeout with 1:08 remaining. After running 30 seconds off the clock, Hutchings sent a pass in front of the goal to sophomore attackman Devin Andrews (Canandaigua, N.Y./Canandaigua/Stony Brook), who flipped a shot into an empty net for his 18th goal of the campaign.

The Dolphins won the ensuing faceoff and ran the final 35 seconds off the clock.

Smith finished the game with a season high-tying 12 saves, including four in the fourth quarter, en route to his 11th win of the season. Brendan McDougal turned away 19 shots, including 11 in the first half, in the loss for the Panthers.
