In the fourth quarter, Dartmouth was held scoreless while Yale added six more goals to finish out their win.
Max Becker started as goalkeeper for Dartmouth and made 13 saves; Kevin Bryan played in the final minutes and recorded one save on two shots faced. Stahl led Dartmouth offensively with three points from two goals and an assist; Alex Jessey contributed two assists while both Vandenberg and Paradine each had two points.
Defensively, Jesse Phelan tallied three caused turnovers along with two groundballs as part of a team total of twelve caused turnovers spread among nine players.
