The Indians came out with a vengeance in the 1st period, outshooting the Warriors by a 20-2 margin and jumping to a 3 goal lead.

Cody Gubala struck again at the 2:47 mark, banging home a rebound of a Kevin Hough shot for a 2-0 lead. Junior Matt Lison closed out the scoring in the 1st period for the Indians when he converted a pretty passing play with Senior Matt White with 31 seconds remaining on the clock. Senior Jake Boss also picked up an assist on Lison's goal.
The Indians took their foot off the gas a bit in the 2nd period and the result was relatively evenly played period as evidenced by the shots on goal (10 to 8 in favor of Peters). Matt White scored the Indians only goal of the period, ripping a one-timer off a beautiful feed from Jake Boss to give the Indians a 4-0 lead after 2 periods.
The Indians came out after the ice cut with a renewed urgency and dominated the 3rd period, outshooting the Warriors by a 12-3 margin. After EF got on the board to make the score 4-1, White put the game away with an outstanding individual effort, scoring an empty net goal while killing a 6 on 3 disadvantage for the Indians.
