HOW IT HAPPENED:

- Junior Garrett Robinson (Winfield, Ill.) put a shot on goal at 33:47 and his shot was turned away by White.
 
- Ben Williams put a shot on goal at 73:52, and the rebound came right back to him as he sent the ball back to the incoming Ross Shellow who broke the scoreless tie with the score at 74:02.
 
- Robinson had another great opportunity to tie the match, however, his shot sailed high over the crossbar. Senior Hendrik Mayer (Montville, N.J.) had a chance to tie the match in the final minutes, but his shot also went wide of the goal.

- MIT honored its senior class of Paarth Desai, Hendrik Mayer, Nick Ciepley, Rami Bikdash, John Flynn, Adam Snowdon, Will Seiple, Richter Brzeski, and Alex Weiler.
