Baruch grabbed the lead back with goals by Carasco-Dance in the 20th minute and Rafal Dziekanowski (Warsaw, Poland/Forest Hills) in the 36th minute to lead at halftime, 3-2.
CCNY tied the match two minutes into the second half, but Carcaso-Dance completed his first collegiate hat-trick with his third goal in the 79th minute to give Baruch the lead again, 4-3.
