Ollson, Hallock and Aaron Jones had a great first period offensively and Liam Eddleston played a solid defence. In the second period, Ellis Schnurr made it 3-1 for Stratford assisted by Dylan Abel and Lachlan Stanley kept it that way going into the third period with several timely saves.The Bandits came back to make it 4-3, then Zach Scrimgeour scored from the point to tie it up. The Warriors almost tied it up with 20 seconds left in the game but rang a shot off the post. In the end the Warriors fell 5-4. Brody Cowen played a good third period in net as did Nick Wagner and Jordan Keane on defence.
