The Leopards scored the only goals of the first quarter with Doner, Allen, and Buck providing the offense as the Black & Gold scored their goals in a span of a little over three minutes.
St. Joseph's pulled within a goal, scoring twice in a span of just under three minutes early in the second quarter with sophomores Michael Finn (Quincy, Mass.) and Peter Wood (Gloucester, Mass.) finding the back of the net. Wentworth scored the next three to take a 6-2 lead at the break as Allen tallied twice to go along with single markers from Butler and senior Sean Farmer (Billerica, Mass.) while Doner had two assists.

Wentworth broke the game open by scoring the next six goals to take a 13-3 lead after three quarters. Butler had a goal and an assist during this stretch.
Sophomore Dan Cunningham (West Islip, N.Y.) ended the Monks' scoring drought of 14:18 when he opened the fourth quarter with a goal, however Doner, Allen, and Buck scored for Wentworth before a pair of late Finn goals concluded the scoring.
In addition to his five points, Allen also scooped up six ground balls. Framer led all players with 11 ground balls. Freshman Tim Phillips (Westwood, Mass.) was 13-of-21 at the X and also picked up six ground balls while freshman Jake Berry (Beverly, Mass.) and senior Eric Iacaboni (Sterling, Mass.) caused a pair of turnovers each.
