On January 14, 2012, Bentley made it a three-point weekend and earned its first win at Air Force since 2006 with a 2-1 victory in the second game of a weekend series, and in the process, moved into a tie for fourth place in Atlantic Hockey.

Freshman Brett Switzer scored the go-ahead goal at 2:31 of the third period with Bentley on a 5-on-3 advantage.

Bentley turned in another excellent defensive performance, holding Air Force to just 20 shots. Sophomore goalie Branden Komm stopped 19 of them to earn the win.

Air Force pulled goalie Jason Torf for the final 1:53 for the extra attacker in search of the tying goal but Bentley held firm.

Switzer's goal came with just seconds left on a two-man advantage, after Brad McBride was called for hitting from behind at 18:14 of the second period and Paul Weisgarber called for slashing at 45 seconds of the third period. Sophomore Brett Gensler fed Switzer a cross-ice pass to the right face-off circle and Switzer beat Torf with a one-timer for the lead.

The assist extended his scoring streak to seven games.

Air Force grabbed an early lead on Tony Thomas' goal at 4:03 of the first period, but Bentley answered back with a power play goal from freshman Alex Grieve at 7:30 of the second period, his sixth goal of the year and third game in the last four with a goal.

The win boosted Bentley's record to 7-3-4 overall in Atlantic Hockey and moved them into a tie in the standings with RIT. Air Force dropped to 8-4-3 in the league and second place.
