WestConn answered back with a Jim Dipientrantonio (Yorktown Heights, NY) goal at the 6:53 mark and tied it up when Sean Macey found the back of the net with 4:47 remaining in the first quarter.
The Thoroughbreds found themselves back in front 53 seconds into the second quarter when Barkoff scooped up a ground ball and beat Colonials' keeper Tyler Martone (Cheshire, CT). Barkoff added his second goal of the game with 2:37 remaining in the half and Rob Lutin (Port Washington, N.Y.) made it a 5-2 game when he scored at the 1:31 mark.
Skidmore made it 7-2 in the third quarter behind goals from Jeremy Goldman (Port Washington, N.Y.) and Giaimo. WestConn was able to add a goal late in the third when Adam Lanehart (Redding, CT) found Tom Begely (East Islip, NY) in front the goal. Levesque scored his second goal of the game on a man-up opportunity for an 8-3 lead with 10:02 remaining and that would be the final score as Skidmore held the Colonials scoreless in the fourth quarter.
