Twelve seconds later the Gulls again made it a two-goal game when freshman Parker Wood (Rochester Hills, Mich.) scored from Slovak and freshman Trey Olson (Omaha, Neb.) and Slovak and Wood would assist on freshman Alexander Bonito's (Buffalo, N.Y.) power-play goal at 10:12 to make it a 4-1 contest. Bowes scored from Olsson at 15:13 to make it 5-1.
