Box Score 

It was the home team of Northwestern MN who opened the scoring to take the early 1-0 lead just seconds into today's game. Defense was on full display between the two teams for much of the first before Brodie Trollop scored a man-up goal to tie the game. He was assisted by Kyle Parker. Northwestern opened the second with a man-up and man-down goal but with time winding down in the half, Jackson Breton scored back to back goals to tie the game as the teams went into the half tied 3-3. 

The two teams continued to fight for every inch in the tightly contested matchup before the Jacks were finally able to break the tie as Breton netted his third goal of the game with five minutes remaining in the third. The Jacks continued the pressure and with 29 seconds remaining, Phil Peacy found the back of the net to extend their lead to 5-3. After a late goal in the third from Northwestern, Peacy and Breton continued to have a strong day on the offensive side of the ball, scoring goals to make it 7-4 Jacks. Northwestern was able to make a late push, scoring with under a minute remaining in the game but it wouldn't be enough as the Jacks picked up the important 7-5 win over Northwestern MN.
