Replying for the Ravens with one goal apiece was Cam Breen, Noah Hoselton, Aaron Woods and Sam Robillard.

Collecting the victory between the pipes for McGill was senior William Waesche, who saved 10 of 14 shots to lower his league-leading goals-against to a stingy 6.51.

Simon Bellamy went the distance in net for the Ravens and was saddled with the loss. He made 11 saves on 27 shots. Carleton (1-10) will host Bishop's (4-5) on Sunday at 2 p.m.
