Once again, in the second period, Columbia would score to take the lead, followed by a score from Hofstra’s Eli Vaillancourt, to even it at two heading into the third period. To start the third period, Nick Lewis would score on the power play for the Pride to take a 3-2 lead. Vincent Luna and Eli Vaillancourt would add two more goals for Hofstra to put Columbia away by a score of 5-2. The Pride improved their record to 3-7-1 on the season.
