The Friars responded with a 3-0 run over the final four minutes of the quarter, including a pair of goals from freshman Matt Grillo (Setauket, N.Y.). Evan McGreen (Narragansett, R.I.) tallied his seventh goal of the season between Grillo's goals.
2nd Quarter: Ryan Zimmerman (Syracuse, N.Y.) tied the game (4-4) 2:29 into the second quarter. Kevin McCordic (Medfield, Mass.) assisted Zimmerman's goal, which was his third of the season. Denver regained the lead near the midway mark, scoring for the first time in over 15 minutes. Jack Hannah scored his second of the game for the Pioneers with 35 seconds on the clock to take a 6-4 lead into halftime.
3rd Quarter: McCordic opened the second-half scoring with 9:12 remaining in the quarter. Denver then scored two goals to push the lead to 8-5. Tate Boyce (Matthews, N.C.) had an impressive 15 minutes in goal, making eight of his 18 total saves during the third stanza.
4th Quarter: The fourth quarter featured the most offense, as nine total goals were scored. Denver outscored Providence 6-3 in the quarter. Luke O'Grady (Wayne, Pa.), Ryan Nawrocki (Smithtown, N.Y.) and Tim Hinrichs (Amherst, N.H.) were the Friars' goal scorers.
