With 16 seconds remaining in the period, Mack Rankin found the back of the net to put the Warriors up by 2. Wamboldt and Drake each earned assists on the Rankin goal. The Nationals returned fire in the second period scoring twice.
The teams entered the third period tied and exchanged chances early in the period. Xavier Rutherford stood strong in the Warriors net and was rewarded when James Drake tallied a goal with 8 minutes remaining. Parker Wamboldt picked up his third point of the night with the assist. The final score was 3-2. With Rutherford shutting the door on the Nationals, the Warriors held on for the win.
