Schaefer's first goal cam at 14:19 of the opening period to give the Golden Flyers a 1-0 advantage. Ethan Louisos and Henry McKinney assisted. Neumann tied the score just over three minutes later and the score stayed deadlocked through the end of the opening period.

Liam Quinlivan's goal proved to be the game-winner and came unassisted at 10:08. He blocked a shot at the opposing blue line, then skated past the Neumann defenders and fired a shot into the top right corner for a 2-1 lead.

Anthony Quinlivan followed suit at 16:24 with a back-breaking insurance goal that came on a Neumann power play. Nazareth's Ryan Turse was whistled for holding at 14:45, but Anthony broke free near the red line and took a pass from Liam and scored off the semi breakaway to give Nazareth a 3-1 advantage.

The score went unchanged until the Knights pulled their goaltender in favor of an extra skater in the closing minutes and Schaefer answered with his second goal of the game at 18:45 to seal the deal.

Neumann had a 33-25 edge in shots on goal, but Nazareth freshman Matt Sayles was strong for the Golden Flyers in making 32 saves.
