Duke opened the scoring on Saturday with the game's first two goals, Andrew McAdorey finishing a Naekie Montgomery feed just 1:04 into the contest and Jake Caputo scoring a little more than a minute later.

McAdorey and Gergar traded goals 38 seconds apart to get to 3-3, and then Penn took its first lead when BJ Farrare scored his first goal of the season with 3:46 left in the first. Montgomery scored in the final minute of the period, and it was 4-4 after one.
