Anderson managed to find the goal a minute later to put them on the board, 5-1. 

Evans' second goal came on a man-up situation and was assisted by Jacob Brickman at 9:35. He proceeded to score two more back-to-back goals within eight seconds of each other as Alexander and Rayce Septer assisted. The trio of scores put HU at an 8-1 advantage.

Heidelberg would score two more before the half, Brickman at 5:51 and Alexander at 1:25. Sandwiched in between was a goal from Anderson for a 9-2 midway score.

The Student Princes came out strong picking up a quick two from Brickman and Maximillian Hatty. Jaydon Septer helped out with an assist for Brickman, giving The Berg an 11-2 lead.

The final goal of the third came from Anderson with 12:33 remaining, when they would embark on their attempted comeback journey. 

The Ravens held control of the game for the entirety of the fourth quarter, outscoring Heidelberg 5-1. 

Evans sealed their fate with a goal at 2:40, shutting down Anderson's enthusiasm. 

The Ravens played two goalies, who managed to come up with a combined nine saves. 

Heidelberg outshot Anderson 42-37 and picked up 37 ground balls compared to the opponent's 35. 

On the face-off, Anderson's Kenny Bentley managed 12 wins compared to 11 from Heidelberg's Jaydon Septer (6-14) and Rayce Septer (5-9).
