Luke Mikkola scored his third goal of the season at 13:39 on the power play from Brendan Bauer and Branwen Pollett.
 
Davenport scored all three goals of the third period to the delight of the home fans at Patterson Ice Center. Heath Drye tied the game with his third goal of the season at 15:05 from Noah Bradburn. Ryder McMillen scored the game-winning goal at 17:29, his first of the season, from Peter Stojcevski and Kristers Klavins. The empty-net goal at 19:09 was buried by Justin Turner from Bradburn.
