Heading into the final regular season game of the year, the message was clear for Bates: win and keep playing, or lose and be done. Both Endicott and Bates entered the final game with 9 points, battling for the fourth and final seed in the American East Conference.

In front of a raucous crowd in Underhill Arena, Bates fell down 2-0 to Endicott in the first period before Miles Davee '11 cut the deficit in half on the power play after a nice feed from Cam Chaput '12. Endicott took a 2-1 lead to the locker rooms after 1 period, but Bates woke up in time for the second period.
