Zach Erwine, Jimmy Murphy, Jimmy Durkin and Ryan Higgins led the Hatters offensively. Ben Cellini and Steve Palo contributed one goal each. Jimmy Murphy also led the team in ground balls with seven. Steve Palo dominated on face-offs, giving the Hatters plenty of opportunities to maintain its lead and hold on for the victory. Marc Poust was solid in goal recording 12 saves on 19 shots.
