The next night, the Raiders faced off against the No. 6 Quinnipiac Bobcats, where Nagel stayed hot, scoring two goals and tallying an assist on the game-tying goal that forced overtime. The three goals in the final five minutes of regulation earned the Raiders a point in the 4-3 overtime loss to the Bobcats.
