Langevin, along with Roy, each finished the game with a hat trick.

After Violandi scored to start the fourth quarter, Pace got on the board with 10:26 left in the game on a man-up goal from William Scioscia. Roy added his third goal of the game for the Greyhounds with 7:12 left to account for the 13-1 final.

Assumption outshot the Setters by a 35-27 final and converted on two of three man-up opportunities.

Senior Scott Vogel (Powell, Ohio/Olentangy-Liberty) made 14 saves in the victory, while Kevin Grady made three saves to get the loss.
