Frank Barbera (Chatham, N.J./Chatham) hit Dunleavy in transition and the senior found the back of the net with 6:58 showing.
Patrick Maroney (Hingham, Mass./Boston College H.S.) made it 3-1 with 4:40 on the clock before Dunleavy finished his hat trick in the final 10 seconds of the opening quarter.
•
Matt Maciolek (Bridgewater, N.J./Bridgewater-Raritan) and Dunleavy each found the back of the net in the first 5:10 of the second quarter for a 6-1 lead. Grant Matthews found Cam Carrigan before finishing a pass from Ben Dickinson in less than a minute to cut the margin to 6-3 with 8:55 remaining. A
Jackson Barroll natural hat trick in a stretch of 6 minutes, 11 seconds made it 9-3 at the break. The run started when Barbera ran a fast break and flipped left to Dunleavy, who went behind his back to Barroll on the doorstep and the freshman finished his 27th goal of the year.
• Barbara and
Will Hedley (Charlotte, N.C./The Hotchkiss School) went pole-to-pole goal off the third-quarter faceoff for a 10-3 lead. Cory Morgan scored a man-up tally to make it 10-4 midway through the period. However,
