Brockport had a slow start in the third period as the Lakers controlled possession for the first five minutes. The Golden Eagles regained their momentum as they headed to the powerplay in the third. The Green and Gold had their chances on the PP but could not get the puck past the oppositions netminder. The Golden Eagles took the game to the Lakers the entire third period, outshooting their opponent, 8-7; but it was the Lakers who would put the final point on the board, scoring an empty netter to finish the game, 3-0.
