Binghamton's 5-1 run the opening 8:12 of the second half transformed a 4-3 halftime lead into a 9-4 advantage.

HOW IT HAPPENED

Binghamton was issued the first yellow card of the game at 28:42, but the Bearcats struck first on a player-down goal by Arthur at 28:03.
With the Wildcats still on the player-up advantage, Blanding scored 25 seconds later to tie the score, 1-1, at 27:38.
