Norwich scored two goals in both the first and second period, with all four goals coming over a 17:17 span, to grab a 4-0 lead through two periods.

UMass Boston answered back with the first two goals of the third period, as MacIntyre scored 1:56 into the third and Houston added his first goal of the season at 10:32.
