In defeat, the Privateers fall to 1-1 this season (0-1 in intra-divisional games), while the Hawks improve to 1-1.

 

New Paltz got on the board first with less than four minutes to play in the opening period on a goal by Kevin Ryan, but Maritime found the equalizer in the second, when freshman James McManus scored his first goal of the season.

 

The Hawks scored the game-winning goal with 1:40 remaining in regulation, when Rob Ward put one past Privateers' goalie Matt Tatarian. Tatarian made 32 saves in the loss.
