Stony Brook then received two more goals from Pall, a pair from Matt Campolettano and single tallies from Tris Gillen and Jon Tompkins in the decisive third quarter.

Pall finished with four goals and an assist on the afternoon to record his seventh hat trick of the season and tenth multiple-goal game of 2001. He entered the game ranked seventh in the nation in goals scored, he now has 34 for the year which equals his total from last season.
