Max Miotke won the first period for Walsh Jesuit on a feed from Drew Rossiter down to the right dot after good control in the offensive zone. In the second period, St. John's William Bowler answered, gaining the right edge 1-on-2 shorthanded and a low, far-side shot.
The Warriors regained the lead when Matt Morris settled the puck down for Steven LeVasseur, who deked a penalty killer at the left hash and released a rising shot from the top of the slot.
Despite a major penalty in the third period against the Warriors, WJ nearly escaped thanks to a Titan tripping penalty part way through. However, once St. John's regained the advantage they tied it up 2-all on a mad scramble at the goal mouth.
Holiday action continues for the Warriors on Saturday at Kent State with Bethel Park.
