The Quakers scored two goals in the first quarter, the first at 10:02 when Maderer scored on an outside shot at the feet of Penn Yan's RJ Wickham. At 4:52 Marrapese scored on a drive from a left sweep and a bounce shot. It was 2-0 for Orchard Park at the end of the first quarter.

Penn Yan left the field for the halftime break, while Orchard Park stayed at their bench area. Coach Tundo told his team, "They're going to go after one at a time. Keep doing what your 're doing".

The Last quarter belonged to the Quakers who scored two more, each on an unassisted drive, one by Jacobs and one by Michaels. Penn Yan's Ty Trombley scored the last goal of the game with 0:03 left in regulation.
  
It was an untypically hard day for the Mustangs who had difficulty possessing the ball. After exciting defensive take aways, the Mustangs would often miss-pass or drop a ball and end up back on defense. Orchard Park, with many big and strong players seemed at times to intimidated Penn Yan, who when driving to the goal sometimes just bumped off the bigger defenseman. There was little offensive time for PY as the Quakers routinely passed the ball around the offensive box area, taking 15-20 seconds off the clock before setting up a run at the goal. Pairing players like Michaels and Jacobs, OP would draw a double from the Mustangs and pass the ball to adjacent player who would get an unencumbered shot on Wickham who made 10s/8ga (56%). The Mustangs, who typically play the best competition that Coach Hobart can find, move to 12-5.
  
Scoring for Orchard Park were Maderer (1g), Marrapese (1g), Michaels (4g-1a), Jacobs (2g-1a), Lallei (1a) and Collins (1a). Ashort had 6s/3ga for OP (12-4).op-oy-3

The first was scored by Tim Kleehammer from a sweep. The next two were crease feeds; Hart from Nick Kane, Drew Coholan from Hart.

Sterzin finished the game with 5s/12ga. The final goal of the third quarter was scored by Kevin Coholan from Greg Wright on a cross-crease pass. The score was 12-4 in favor of Irondequoit.
