The host Lakers took a 3-1 lead early in the third period on Joseph Duszak’s fourth goal of the season before the Purple Eagles drew to within one with 6:14 left on a tally from Zach Mills. Niagara got a late power play, but was unable to convert. Brian Wilson made 30 saves in the loss, while Mercyhurst’s Brandon Wildung stopped 32 shots for his eighth win of the season.
