St. John's, fresh off a 4 hour bus ride, spotted St. Mary's Hall as many goals before they decided to take control and go to work.  The Mavericks were shut out in the first period, but Max Susman got the Mavs on board with an assist from William Payne early in the second.  Patrick Wilkey made it 2-2 a minute later, and after the Barons scored again, Reed Daniel knotted it up at 3.  The Barons would score their last goal at the end of the half to be up 4-3.
Buddy Carruth started the second half tear.  Ten seconds into the quarter William Young found Carruth for his first goal of the season.  William Jewett got the game winner from Daniel and it was all Mavs:  Cameron Cuenod assited by Payne, Caldwell Flores from Young, Daniel-Wilkey, Payne-Young, Young-Gaitz, Jewett-Daniel and finally Wilkey from Young.

The 9-0 tear brings back the season of 1996 when the St. John's Rebels went undefeated and took out St. Mary's Hall on the same field.  Back then there was no track, no lights, no scoreboard, and the knotted oak trees hung over the field.  The 1996 game had St. John's up 9-0 at the half only to win 10-9 when time ran out.  13 seasons later St. John's sat stunned at the break, lit up by the Barons and their lights, and the only thing not working for the Hall was their scorboard.   It was in disrepair as much as the Mavericks.   But the Mavs got a "Buddy check."  No score or minutes in site, they unknotted themselves and powered their own clock by counting the ground balls, possessions and shots on cage until the last whistle sounded.
