Evans blasted a slapshot from the right faceoff circle into the top left corner of the UMass net from Cam Morrison and Tony Bretzman. Sophomore Austin Plevy was hauled down on a breakaway with 12:37 to go in the frame, but the Minutemen were unable to convert on the ensuing power play and finished the period 0-for-3 with the man advantage.
