The Thoroughbreds pulled within 8-5 just before the half and got as close as 11-9 on a goal by Curry with 6:05 to go in the third quarter. Mishkind scored at the 2:16 mark to extend the margin to three, and then capped a four-goal run with his fourth of the day to make it 15-9 with 12:13 left in the fourth. Skidmore got as close as 16-13 with 3:41 to go in the fourth, but O'Hanlon tacked on an insurance marker with 1:36 to go for the final margin. The Thoroughbreds finished with a 48-36 edge in shots, and a 46-31 advantage in ground balls while converting 11-of-11 clear attempts, while the beavers converted 16-of-21 clear attempts, and led in saves, 14-5.
