The third period was a reversal in fortune for the Mavericks. Led by a their attack of Desadier, Lehle and Fales, the Mustangs took a 10-8 lead going into the final quarter before Grayson Crady '13 pulled the home team within a goal with 8:34 to go, but Prior struck again to put the Mustangs up by 2 with 6:38 to go.
Newar stepped up for the Mavericks once more on back to back goals and the game was knotted up at 11 with 4:47 to play.
