The scoring began late in the first as Webster's Nick Mooney scored in man-up (assisted by Grant Catalino) at 5:32. Orchard Park tied the game at 3:23 when Kevin Lalley scored (unassisted) with an outside shot. With only 0:09 remaining in the quarter Schroeder took the lead again when Catalino bulled his way from behind the cage for an unassisted goal. Schroeder led 2-1 at the end of the first quarter.

Orchard Park was a pleasure to watch. The big, athletic players routinely chased down ground balls, and played hard, tough defense while their offensive players took blazing shots, that, although, often off cage, were considerably faster than those seen in most Section Five games.
  
Webster's Drew Palmer, also made a strong individual effort picking up the ground ball and winning the face-off 5 times. He was only a part, however of a mostly team defensive effort that included Tim Winslow, Eric Horeth and Tim Marshall. Critical in the win was Schroeder's defensive midfield including Steve Sullivan. The Warriors played aggressively all over the field and the riding team limited easy clears for OP.
  
Both goalies made dramatic saves throughout the game. Ryan Cole recorded 12s/10ga (55%) for OP and Zach Marshall recorded 6s/6ga (50%) for Schroeder.
  
With Palmer's help the Warriors won 15/20 (75%) face-offs. Chris Topping recorded 9/12 (75%) and Barilla recorded 6/8 (75%).
