The first half proved to be fairly quiet. Both teams took an equal number of shots at the goal, but only Skidmore snuck one into the goalie. The 4:45 goal by Andrew Souza was to be the game-winner.

In the second half the Red Hawks came to life, shooting nine to Skidmore’s four, but still didn’t manage to score, leaving the game 1-0, Skidmore.

Both teams played competitively, but the defense was just too strong for either team to penetrate. RPI’s goalie, Kenny Guzzardo, put in six saves for the game.
