Just 40 seconds later off of a faceoff win Jon George scored for Lindenwood to even up the game 3-3 before halftime.

The Lakers opened up the second half with a quick goal, however the Lions had the answer and a man-up goal put in for Stuebing's second goal.

The back-and-forth continued with a Mercyhurst goal then a minute later George rocketed one past the Laker goalie to tie it at 5-5. Two late goals for the home team within eight seconds of each other game the Lakers a 7-5 lead going into the fourth quarter.

Under a minute into the final quarter, Mercyhurst scored yet another goal to get up by a comfortable three goal margin.

The Lakers added two more goals to get to the final score of 10-5.
