Villanova tallied its first goal at the 9:11 mark to make it a 3-1 game. Barton answered with a finish to give the Friars a three goal lead, 4-1.

The first overtime period was scoreless. Despite being outshot by Villanova, 5-1, the Friars and Wildcats remained tied 10-10.
Stack secured a Friar victory when he buried a finish with 50 seconds remaining in the second overtime. Stack's snipe served as his first goal of the 2014 season. Senior face-off specialist Ryan Shaw (East Hampton, N.Y.) won 11-of-27 attempts at the "X" and picked up six groundballs.
Senior goalie Tyler Himes (Spring City, Pa.) recorded his 15th consecutive start for the Friars. He finished the game with 12 saves. In addition, Himes picked up three ground balls.
POST-GAME QUOTES - Head Coach Chris Gabrielli
"We rallied around loyalty to each other and Providence College in what we knew was going to be our final game of the 2014 season. Our seniors were truly remarkable today. Our seniors carried us in their final competition as Friars."
"Tyler Himes had an outstanding day in the cage for us. Zach Rogers had an All-American performance with 11 ground balls and four caused turnovers. He was the best player on the field by far today. In addition, Jak Wawrzyniak helped control play in our defensive end."
"Bryan Annecchino, Andrew Barton and Sean Wright had a solid presence in our offensive game. In addition, Tim Modesti and Andrew Pappas played well for us today. It was fitting that Robby Stack scored the game-winner in double overtime."
"Ryan Shaw got off to a great start at the 'X' and helped us gain an early lead with his performance at his face-off game."
