Boudrow netted a pair of goals and four assists for six points during the tournament for the victorious Jumbos (3-0), who struck quickly with three first-period powerplay goals en route to a 3-1 lead after one. Tufts added another pair of markers in the second stanza to take command at 5-1 after two, as freshman Pat Byrne (Burlington, MA) finished with two goals on the afternoon for the Jumbos as well. Tufts also received individual markers from seniors Natan Obed (Goose Bay, NFLD), and Dan Mahoney (Tewksbury, MA), junior Jordan Karp (Roslyn Heights, NY) and sophomore Dan Geary (Norwood, MA). Freshman Ben Crapser (Paxton, MA) made 35 stops in net to pick up the win in goal.

Senior Eddy Fletcher and sophomore Matt Hillberg netted the goals in the setback for Salve Regina, as the Seahawks fell to 4-4 on the season. Tufts improved to 3-0, its best start since the 1987-88 season.
