In the third period, Nichols extended the lead with another two goals in a short span with one at the 8:04 mark of the period and the second less than five minutes later at 12:54 to take a 4-1 advantage. Less than three minutes later and with 4:22 remaining in the period, Rothfuss scored his second goal of the game with an assist from senior Mike Hayward (Toronto, ONT/Vaughan Vipers).
Nichols added an empty net goal with one second remaining for the final outcome.
Freshman Jared Lockhurst (Caledon, ONT/Wellington Dukes) returned to the goal for the Golden Eagles having not played since November 10 and made 41 saves including 17 in the second period.
