How It Happened

Trailing 2-0 after the first three minutes of play, Stephen Licata would score on an assist from teammate Zach Bowe on an extra man opportunity to get the Ravens to with a goal, trailing 2-1 with 9:56 on the clock.

That would be the closest the Ravens would get to the Cyclones for the rest of the contest, however. Centenary ended the quarter with a 3-1 lead, and added a 4-0 advantage in the 2^nd quarter to take a 7-1 lead going into the half.

Centenary kept their string of goals going, scoring five straight to open the 3^rd stanza to grab a 12-1 lead with 0:49 remaining in the quarter. Stephen Licata would find the net with five seconds left in the quarter, ending Centenary's string of 10 straight goals as the score had Rosemont trailing 12-2 going into the final quarter.

The Ravens gave up a goal to start the 4^th quarter, but after that, they got their offense untracked. Zach Bowe netted a goal with 10:18 on the clock, followed by a goal by Justin Miller with an assist from Anthony Bottoms with 8:24 remaining. After a Centenary goal, the Ravens finished off the game scoring four straight times. The first on an extra-man goal from Zach Bowe off of a pass from Ralph Ibezim, followed by Licata's third of the game, a goal from Malik Slye from Bottoms, and finally Licata's 4^th of the game from Zach Bowe.
