- Providence outshot St. Thomas by a 14-7 margin in the second period.

- The Friars got even with 7:14 left in regulation on Aleksi Kivioja's first strike of the season. Quinn Mantei earned his first NCAA point with a backdoor feed to Kivioja after taking a drop pass from Beau Jelsma.

- Providence had multiple quality looks in the final minutes or regulation and overtime but UST's Aaron Trotter kept the Friars at bay.

- The Tommies won the non-conference shootout, 2-0.
