Rookie net-minder Harris Pollack (Chappaqua, N.Y.) made six saves for the visitors. Senior Max Nichols (Mill Valley, Calif.) stopped three shots for the hosts.
Hamilton opened the scoring in the seventh minute of action when Kraynak delivered a through ball down the right sideline to Bobola who was able to find some open real estate at the far post side of the goal with his 16 yard blast. Later on in the 16th minute of action, Kraynak extended the Continental lead to two when he scored at the 18 yard line with the assist coming from Ethan Kelly (Niskayuna, N.Y.).
But the Camels stormed back. In the 22nd minute of action, Billy Hawkey netted his team leading fifth goal of the season. Dillon Kerr (West Roxbury, Mass.) set Hawkey up with a nice feed that led the forward to the goal near the top of the box.
In the second stanza, first year forward Weller Hlinomaz supplied the equalizer with 26 minute to play. Hlinomaz hit the crossbar with his first shot but he finished the play, pouncing on the rebound to put in the equalizer.

Dillon Kerr responded for the Camels with a nice effort on a low shot that went wide to the left side of the post.
