Going into the third period Wesleyan looked to have a repeat performance of their game last night against Amherst, where they scored two third period goals to tie the game. That wasn't to be however. The Cardinals were able to get on the board late in the game on a goal by James Kline, which was assisted by Alex Carlacci and Andy Espinoza. The goal was Kline's fourth on the year. Hamilton would go onto win the game 1-2.

Sprigings finished the game with 24 saves while Buitenhuis made 44.
