1st Quarter:
  • Providence got on the board at the 13:22 mark when Ryan Bell turned and scored for the 1-0 lead.
  • Denver scored just a minute later to tie things up, however, Providence responded at 11:34 as Matt Grillo converted on an assist from Chris Simonton from behind the cage (2-1).

  • Patrick McAleavey scored at the 11:28 mark off the assist from Bell to end the Friars' 30-minute scoring drought (3-8).
  • Jack Horrigan found Grillo at 10:22 for a goal from deep to cut into Denver's lead (4-8).
  • After two Pioneer goals, Bell scored on a man-up attempt with the help of Richie Joseph with 4:38 remaining in the quarter (5-10).
