McGregor (Wichita, Kansas), just under two minutes into the second period, and Camel sophomore forward Keith Veronesi (South Glastonbury, Conn.) converted on a 6-on-4 power play to tie the score at 2-2 midway through the second.  Senior forward Sean McCarthy (Duxbury, Mass.) and rookie Jackson Brewer (Newton, Mass.) provided helpers on Lombardi's clincher.  Trinity sophomore backstop Ben Coulthard (South Windsor, Conn.) matched Calvanico with 29 saves.  Trinity went 0-for-5 on power plays.
