Junior Chi Chi Price (Hingham, Mass.) finished off a pass by Chisholm to end the run at the 6:45 mark and Tauss followed up a goal by Swank to cut the Babson deficit to 7-3 late in the second quarter.

Swank and Boyden scored less than two minutes apart to push the margin back to 9-5 with 9:44 left in the period and Kelleher notched his fourth goal of the night at the 5:18 mark to make it 10-5.
