Bowman scored on an assist from Issac Stertz four minutes into the quarter. Sully Dowling made it 8-3 Lewis with an unassisted goal with 1:15 left in the third. He scored again less than a minute into the fourth period for his second goal of the day. Lewis scored twice in five minutes, leading to Walsh scoring twice in two minutes with six minutes left. Stertz and Bowman tallied goals while Lewis closed out the scoring at 11-6.
