The Express would get within 4-2 after an Alex Milliken score but five straight goals, two of which came off the stick of Pratt, gave the hosts a commanding 11-3 lead at intermission. The Roos held a 23-9 shots on goal edge at intermission.

Milliken scored two of the three next tallies out of break to get Wells within 12-5 but back-to-back markers from Novak increased the SUNY Canton lead to 14-5 after three quarters.
