Neither squad was able to jump out to a big lead and the score remained relativley close until about the 10 minute mark. After that, Beaver was able to get some momentum and starting to gain a nice lead over Worthington Scranton.

After the two teams came out from the half, Beaver finally began running away with the game. The team opened up a big double-digit lead and from the start of the second half Beaver never let go of their lead.
