A goal by Mason Reiners (’01/Edina, MN) 28 seconds from the end of the first period was all the Hawks needed, but insurance came with third period goals from Garrett Schifsky (’03/Andover, MN) and then Tyler Kostelecky (’01/Maple Grove, MN) into an empty net.

Connor Hasley (’01/North Tonawanda, NY — Bentley) took the loss despite a solid 34-save effort in goal for the RoughRiders.
