How It Happened

• The Continentals held a 15-7 shot advantage in the first period but they didn't score their first goal until there was 4:46 left. Following a rush up the ice, Cameron Miranda '26 put the puck on net from above the right faceoff circle. Miranda's shot was stopped but not held and Carson Hall '26 was there for the rebound.
• Hamilton made it 2-0 with just 2.2 seconds remaining in the period. Krock passed to Grisha Gotovets '25 above the right faceoff circle and Gotovets skated into the slot where he scored on a backhand shot.
• Luke Tchor '27 gave the Continentals a three-goal cushion at 6:44 of the second period. Tchor carried the puck into the attacking zone and scored on a wrist shot from above the right faceoff circle.
• A power-play goal by Krock put Hamilton up 4-0 with 2:54 to go in the second. James Philpott '25 cracked a shot from the point that Krock tipped past the goaltender from the low slot.
• Sebastian Hamming '28 increased the Continentals' advantage to five goals on a one-timer from the high slot with 38.4 seconds left in the period.
• A goal by Max Resnick 18 seconds into the third period ended Hamilton's shutout bid.
