Approximately 20 minutes into the second period, freshman Rodrick Leighton crossed it to Shnadshteyn who found the back of the net for his second goal of the match. The forward now has 10 goals on the year. John Jay's defense and Taliotis made some big saves and clears to hold on for a 2-0 victory. 

Taliotis collected his third shutout and sixth win of the season. Shnadshteyn finished with a team-high four shots and team-high three shots on goal.
