Clay McCollum '19 scored three times for the second straight game and leads the Continentals with 18 goals and 22 points. Casey Kopp '17 scooped up five ground balls and Matt Greene '18 and Zach Kleinbaum '19 picked up four apiece. Noah Weissmann '18 started in goal and made 10 saves, and John Schisler '17 stopped 10 more shots after he relieved Weissmann at the start of the second half.

Weber gave Bates a 1-0 lead just 69 seconds into the first quarter but Hill scored on a feed from Chad Morse '19 and tied it at 1-1 nearly five minutes later. Fay put the Bobcats back in the lead one minute later only to have McCollum tie the score again with 6:27 left in the first.

Bates scored the last three goals of the first quarter -- the last two by Fay -- and took a 5-2 lead after one. Andrew Melvin gave the Bobcats a four-goal cushion early in the second quarter just 8 seconds into an extra-man opportunity.

McCollum cut Hamilton's deficit in half on his second goal of the day with 9:44 remaining in the half. Bates responded with three goals by three different players in a span of 2:01 midway through the quarter and led by at least five goals the rest of the way. The Bobcats held an 11-4 advantage at the break and increased their lead to a nine-goal cushion at 17-8 after three quarters. The action-packed third featured a combined 10 goals by the teams.
