Thirty seconds later, the Big Red struck again as David Kozier wristed in a shot from the right face-off circle that beat Ballard to the glove side.
Heath Gordon cut Cornell's lead in half with the Friars' first goal of the game. Gordon broke in on Cornell goaltender Matt Underhill and lifted a backhander by the goalie at 1:47 of the second. Cornell regained its two-goal advantage as Frank Kovac wristed in a shot through a scrum in front of the net at the 4:32 mark of the second period. However, PC battled back and tied the game with goals from Fernando Pisani at 5:53 of the second and West Warwick's Mike Omicioli at 9:53 of the second.
