RPI scraped by with a late-period goal for a final score of 2-1. Deadlocked going into the final frame, the Engineers' Allison Wright skated through traffic in front of the net to tip in the eventual game-winning goal for RPI. This was the Engineers' first victory over Dartmouth (7-11-2, 5-9-1 ECAC Hockey) in their last ten meetings.

"Getting that many shots with just one goal is very frustrating," he said. Dartmouth fired 22 shots in the opening period alone, to no avail. Alyssa Boehm '11 netted the Big Green's sole point of the match on a breakaway late in the middle frame.
