- Garrison would score on a behind the back shot with 3:49 left in the second from Jack Dupuis to make it 8-5 for the home side and that would be the halftime score.
- After Tim Blue scored from Jimmy Gibbons 1:55 into the third quarter for Skidmore to cut the lead to 8-6, the Shoremen scored five straight times to take a 13-6 with 3:03 left in the stanza on a Ben Dickinson tally.  The seven-goal lead was the Shoremen's biggest in the game.
