Alex Barre-Boulet was the game’s second star after posting a five point night with 1-4-5.
Syracuse held the slight edge in shots at 28-27 in a tightly contested game with Rochester’s back against the wall facing elimination. But, they couldn’t seem to get a lead and couldn’t get a situational save when they needed it. They’ll try again to close out the series in Game Four in Rochester on Sunday.
