• With three minutes left in the period, Quinn Evans scored the first of back-to-back goals as Roanoke took a 9-8 advantage into the final period of play.
• Caldwell made it 10-8, but the Eagles cut it back to a one goal game two minutes later.
• With 6:45 to play, Caldwell pushed the lead to two, however Bridgewater netted a pair and the score would be tied at 11-11 heading into the final minute of play.
• Bridgewater appeared to score the go ahead goal with just seconds left to play but they were called in the crease and the turnover gave the Maroons one last chance in regulation.
• With just 11 seconds on the clock, Luca Docking passed to Owen Curry and got it back to beat the goalie up top for the game winning score.
