Fredonia took a 1-0 lead on the goal by White as his shot from the high right point deflected off the glove of Cortland goaltender Drew Weigman (Annapolis, Md.). Taylor Bourne (Calgary, Alberta) set up White with a pass from behind the net.

Cortland pulled even later in the period as Nolan converted a Fredonia neutral-zone turnover with a shot from the top of the right circle. Darren McCormick (West Seneca, N.Y.) assisted with a pass from behind Blue Devil goaltender Jeff Flagler (Owen Sound, Ont.)

Cortland grabbed a 2-1 lead early in the second period as Broderick scored following a scrum in front of the net. Josh LaRose (Liverpool, N.Y.) brought the puck up the left sideboards, passed to Nick Zappia (Manlius, N.Y..) behind the net, and Zappia set up Broderick.

Fredonia pulled even 2-2 as Castriota scored as a result of a 2-on-1 rush with Brian Doust (Calgary, Alberta) after Jared Wynia (Calgary, Alberta) chipped the puck ahead. Doust skated along the left boards before passing to Castriota in front of the net.

Flagler finished with 26 saves while Weigman had 44 saves and earned the No. 3 star.
