Sophomore Mike Tiano (Dover, N.H.) got White on the board -- assisted by classmate Channing Tobey (Eliot, Maine) -- at 5:01 of the second, then sophomore Derek Dwyer (Newfields, N.H.) pushed White ahead at 9:42. First-year Bryan Hart (Dover, N.H.) and sophomore Justin Miner (Stratham, N.H.) were credited with assists on the play.

Miner notched an unassisted goal 3:43 into the third period to extend the White lead to 3-1.
