#Jordan Willert scored the eventual game-winner when he knocked in a pass from Dan Swanson# at 12:56.  Both of Willert's goals this season are game-winners.

UNO then scored two goals in a span of 18 seconds to put the game out of reach.  #Alex Hudson# scored on a wrist shot from just inside to blue line to make it 3-0.  #Jeric Agosta# followed with a shot through traffic that chased Eno in favor of back-up goalie Andrew Hammond.

The Falcons broke #Jeremie Dupont#'s shutout bid when Brennan Vargas scored off a netmouth scramble at 6:06 of the third.

Bowling Green looked to have closed the gap to two goals on a powerplay goal halfway through the period, but the referees ruled that the puck had been kicked in.
