Shaking off a 1-0 deficit, Haverford scored four of the next five, including Phillip Valliant's team-leading 18th of the season, to take a 4-2 lead at the end of the first.

The Fords continued the offensive pressure in the second quarter as they registered three more, highlighted by Jack Bodine's first of his career to extend their advantage to 7-3 at the half.

Dominating the third stanza, Haverford added five more goals by five different scorers while holding the Devils to just one goal to move ahead, 12-4.

The final quarter saw the two squads register two goals apiece. Bodine finished off the scoring with his third of the day with five minutes remaining in the contest.

The Fords tallied a season-high 11 assists on the day as contributions came from up and down the roster. Bodine added an assist to finish with four points on the day. Christian Clay and Henry Millson matched the four-point effort with a goal and three assists apiece.
