Darren Kramer opened the scoring 5:20 into the first period when he notched his second tally of the season taking a feed from Wideman and beating Syracuse goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy glove side. Matt Puempel doubled Binghamton's lead with less than eight minutes to play in the first after he beat Vasilevskiy for his 10th score of his sophomore campaign. Just over a minute later, Buddy Robinson took a cross-ice feed from Dzingel and buried it to move the score to 3-0 before Shane Prince notched a power-play goal with just over 30 seconds remaining in the period to give Binghamton a 4-0 advantage after 20 minutes of play.
The B-Sens added another tally just 2:53 into the middle frame when Max McCormick sent a wrist shot from the right-wing faceoff dot just inside the pipe for his sixth of the year to make it 5-0 and forcing Syracuse to switch goaltenders to Kristers Gudlevskis.
Gudlevskis stopped all 21 shots faced in just over 37 minutes of play, but Hammond answered for Binghamton to preserve the shutout win.
