Northland was hot from the start with their first shot coming in the sixth minute and the first on goal came three minutes later. Sophomore Quinn Bieber broke open the floodgates with the first Jacks' goal in the 28th minute. Three minutes later Northland doubled its lead with a Nolan Melek goal assisted by Kelan Cattaway. Garett Sutton joined the scoring party in the next two minutes and Tibbetts gave Northland its fourth in the next minute. A goal in the last two minutes of play wrapped up the scoring in the first after Salvador Villalobos found the net for the fifth time for the Jacks in the first 45 minutes.
 
The Jacks picked up right where they left they left off with a goal in the first three minutes with Julian Swensen making it 6-0. Tibbetts wrapped up the scoring with the final goal of the game in the 49th minute after Swensen set him up. Being up big 27 Jacks saw the field in the big victory and 16 got a shot off.
 
The Jacks had possession for 63 percent of the game and when they had the ball most of the time it was in MBU's half. Northland had 30 shots in the game with 18 being on target.
