Hall improved to 3-3 on the year in PKs and later put away his 12th goal of the season, currently leading the Big Ten and tied for fifth nationally.
Hackett, who entered the contest leading RU with four assists, added in his first scores of 2018, including his fourth career game-winner, and first multiple goal outing.
