Reilly scored and assisted on McAleavey's second goal around a tally by junior Rowan Mondello (Wakefield, Mass.) to make it 11-2 just over five minutes into the third. Wightman followed another goal by Reilly with back-to-back markers midway through the stanza and D'Orsi and sophomore Jake Murray (Riverside, R.I.) scored 58 seconds apart to give the Beavers their largest lead of the night at 16-4 with 1:01 to go in the period.
