The game went scoreless for the next 20 minutes until Yakymov made his way to the box to score a second goal the Lions (2-0). Less than a minute later, senior John Kazmierczyk (Conway/Quigley) connected on a pass by Yakymov to give Beaver a 3-0 edge before halftime. The defense played solid in the second period and kept the men of Mont Alto at bay by not allowing any goals by them to take a 3-0 conference victory for the day.
