As he has done all season long, Bryce Lausier scored 15 points in the opening quarter to set the tone of the game. The Broncos led 11-0 just over two minutes into the game, and were on top 18-0 before the Eagles found the inside of the net for the first time in the game. The Broncos closed out the opening period with a 25-4 lead.

The Broncos out scored Erskine 20-11 in the second quarter to take a 45-15 lead into the half time break. The third period was much of the same as the first half as Hampden out scored the Eagles 23-20 for a 68-35 lead after three quarters. Hampden head Coach Russ Bartlett took advantage of the big lead and got his bench a great deal of playing time, as starters Lausier and Mikey Raye sat out the fourth period. Erskine finally had a chance to cut into the Broncos lead, bit only slightly as the Eagles edged Hampden 17-13 in the closing period.
