The Royal Comets outscored the Cadets 4-1 in the second and third quarters combined; holding the Cadets to only four shots (none on cage) in the third quarter.
Hilton scored first with a drive from the top of the cage by Matt Fracassi.

The Royal Comets scored the next two goals in the second quarter to take the 3-2 lead. Torry Whitcher and Chris Aycock scored. After a flag down, RH worked the ball around in hopes of getting a shot off. Perkins had the ball around GLE on the right side of the field and looked to the center of the field for Chris Aycock. The pass from Perkins was too high for Aycock, however, Aycock tipped the ball so as to try and keep it in play. Whitcher stepped up and caught the ball; rocketing it into the corner for the goal. The latter RH goal was scored with a cross feed from Mattiacio during the man-up that came from the initial penalty.  Hilton scored their lone goal of the second quarter also during man-up. Steve Bernsten came around from behind the cage and passed the ball to Mike Crumlish at about 10 yards out; after a slide, Crumlish looked back to Bernsten who was open on the crease for the goal. The score was tied 3-3 at halftime.
The third quarter was the defining quarter of the game. Hilton was held to four shots, all off cage; only three ground balls; lost both face-offs; and was only 50% at clears. R-H began with the ball after a late penalty in the second quarter and they used it to their advantage, scoring only 13 seconds into the second half. The Royal Comets' Jake Alvarez scored, with an assist from Perkins. R-H took a total of eight shots in the third quarter with 5 on cage and two goals.

In the fourth quarter, Hilton started to come back. The Cadets scored the first two goals of the quarter to tie the game at 5-5 with 5:43 remaining. Gaffney scored the first goal unassisted with a side-arm shot from outside during a flag-down situation (the penalty was waved off). The second goal came from a feed from the right side by Crumlish to Bernsten. R-H scored the next two goals within 1:10 of the last Hilton goal. The first game 27 seconds later when, after calling a time out, the Royal Comets cleared the ball straight up the field and caught the Cadets out of position for the goal (Perkins from Aycock). R-H then scored again at 4:32 with Perkins feeding Mattiacio for his lone goal of the game. With 4:32 remaining the Cadets kept pushing. After subbing onto the field, David Smith caught the ball about 10 yards outside the box and never stopped running until the ball was in the back of the net. The Cadet had a number of opportunities more, however they could not capitalize. The Royal Comets ran out the last bit of time for the win.
Overall, the game was slow moving as both teams took massive amounts of time off the clock before even attempting to go to the cage. The game had long periods of drawn out passing, interspersed with periods of quick back to back action. Goals seemed to come in sets, as did turnovers; with one team controlling the ball for a  while, then both teams repeatedly loosing the ball and running up and down the field.
Both goalies played exceptionally. Ken Stiles, of Hilton, finished with13 saves (65%) and Matt Gladstone, of R-H, finished with 10 saves (63%). Both goalies made of number of point blank saves, and kept their respective teams in the game. Face-offs were a 50-50 split with Brad Sauln, of R-H, finished 8/16 and Gaffney, of Hilton, finishing 7/14.
Sauln (8) and Perkins (4) led in ground balls for RH; with Gaffney (6), Bernsten (4), Fracassi (4) and Crumlish (4) leading for Hilton. There was a significant difference in shooting; RH hit the cage 71% of the time while Hilton only hit the cage 48%. With the relative similar numbers from the goalies, and relative similar number of shots (28-33 Hilton), the amount that the goalie had to face played an important role.
Scoring for R-H were Aycock (2g-2a), Perkins (2g-2a), Mattiacio (1g-2a), Whitcher (1g), Alvarez (1g).
Scoring for Hilton were Gaffney (2g), Bernsten (2g), Crumlish (2a), Fracassi (1g) and Smith (1g).
