Luke Delavan's 13 goal of the season put the Crusaders back on top and the guests held that 4-3 advantage heading into the locker room.

After SU tallied the first two goals of the third quarter, Hood closed the gap to one for the third time with a pair of goals in the final 1:30 of the period. Miner fed Roberts for his 24th goal of the season; then Miner beat the horn with his second goal of the game to close to margin to 6-5 heading into the final quarter.

But the fourth quarter was all Susquehanna, as the Crusaders outshot the Blazers 13-3 and scored four times to put the game away. Four different players scored, while Susquehanna also cashed in on two man-up chances.

Will Lane made 12 saves for Hood while Hector Montoya won eight face-offs. Hood won the ground ball battle, 56-50.
