The goal for Langlois was an empty net goal and team-leading eighth goal of the season. Matthew Peca scored the tie-breaking goal in the first period and Connor Jones and Yuri Bouharevich also added goals for the Bobcats.The Bobcats struck first at 6:34 of the first period when Connor Jones won an offensive zone faceoff and moved the puck back to Mike Glaicar who ripped a shot off the post behind Robert Morris goaltender Brooks Ostergard. Jones was able to follow the play and chip the puck into the goal after it hit the post.

Robert Morris (2-3) tied the game, 1-1, on a 5-on-3 power-play advantage. Adam Brace scored off a rebound of a shot that was initially saved by Dan Clarke.
