McCaig and junior Mike Rosaschi went back-to-back to tie the game but the Lions had an answer to take the lead back, 4-3. McCaig and senior Paul Modzelewski then scored back-to-back goals but Kevin McClanahan finished out the quarter with two straight to give the Lions a 6-5 lead after the first quarter.
