The Mammoths reponded with a goal from Krummenacher, Brodie Rayment, and Matt Sheinberg to build a 10-7 lead with 7:59 remaining in the third. Krummenacher would score again with 43 seconds left tin the third for a 13-11 Amherst lead, but York would battle back ti to the game at 13-13 and then 14-14 early in the fourth. 

* The backbreaking goal may have been provided by Amherst face-off specialist Nicholas Kopp, who scored his first goal of the season off a face-off win with 13:19 left in the game for a 15-14 Amherst lead. With 10:50 left, Adams would score a man-up goal off an assist from Bennett for a two-goal lead, and that was followed by Giacobb's second goal of the game that made it 17-14.
