HOW IT HAPPENED
Assumption started strong, as they scored the first four goals of the game, all coming in the first quarter, as Boomer Staunton, Ben McHugh, and Brian Shortt all found the back of the cage. Pace would get on the board with back-to-back goals to begin the second, but the quick run would be halted by Braden Mutschler, regaining a three-goal advantage for the Greyhounds (5-2). The Setters would score twice late in the frame to cut the deficit down to one (5-4) at the break. 

Coming out of the break, the hosts would tie the game to begin the third quarter. The two teams would trade scores throughout the frame, but the Setters would get back-to-back goals from Matt Baldino and Declan Turner, giving the hosts their first lead of the contest (8-7) with four minutes left in the quarter. Staunton tied the game right before the third quarter horn, sending the game to the fourth tied at 8-8. 

In the fourth quarter, the two teams traded the first four goals of the frame, with Assumption going ahead each time. Matt Baldino scored three goals in the final quarter, including two in the final two minutes, to give Pace the 11-10 win.
