Stratton scored unassisted, tying the game up. Belmont received a two minute penalty and did an awesome job of shutting down Team Anderson Appliances from extending the lead. With only two minutes left in the second period, Belmont scored. One minute later, #7 M. Vervaecke scored unassisted. The parents and fans were sitting on the edge of their seats. The second period ended tied 4-4.
Fifteen minutes was on the board for the third period. That extra five minutes seemed like an eternity for the spectators. Belmont scored two minutes into the period. Ingersoll fought to get the puck past the Belmont goaltender. Five minutes later, Belmont took the lead further with another goal. Team Anderson Appliances was not to be deterred. With his second goal of the game, #8 Alex Stratton scored unassisted.
