Union College came back from an early deficit to beat Army 4-2 in regulation, flipping the game with a 3-0 run across the final two periods. The Dutchmen trailed 2-1 after twenty minutes and never trailed again after the second.
Army's only offense came in the first, where the Black Knights scored twice to Union's one for a 2-1 lead through one. Union tied it with the lone goal of the second period, then closed with a two-goal third to make it 4-2 — the turning point was the scoreless Army middle frame, which handed the visitors control of the game script.
The headline number is the period split: Union outscored Army 3-0 over the last forty minutes after conceding two in the opening period. Army went shutout in both the second and third, and that drought, not any single shift, decided it.
