Ekpebu tallied the Crimson's first goal on a head at 12:30 in the first quarter. Late in the second period he just missed a spectacular, diving shot at the left corner of the Tufts goal, and he nearly scored from a sitting position in the third session after running 10 yards on his hands and knees to reach the ball.
