Max Bulawka '26 won a faceoff in the attacking zone and passed the puck back to James Philpott '25. Philpott took a shot from the top of the right faceoff circle that bounced off the chest of Bowdoin goaltender Alex Kozic. Biraben controlled the puck right outside the crease and settled it into the back of the net.

The Continentals had a man-up opportunity after a Bowdoin penalty that was called with just five seconds remaining. Bulawka gathered another faceoff win, Philpott played the puck off the right-side boards and passed it over to Devon de Vries '27 in the middle of the faceoff circle.
