Colgate nearly got on the board with about five minutes to go in the period as Mike Panowyk (Whitby, Ontario) had a shorthanded rush but Cornell goaltender Matthew Galajda made the save before a collision.
 
Point shined between the pipes throughout the night as he turned away shot after shot for the Raiders, including several highlight reel saves. Point turned away a period-high nine shots in the first period.
