The Thunder took a 2 goal lead early in the third period on a goal by Danila Milushkin. Delaware would then receive another tally, this time by Jakub Volf at 14:42 to take a commanding 4-1 lead.
After a timeout Elmira pulled the goalie and scored to cut the lead to 2, but Houston Wilson would tack on a late empty net goal to make the final score Delaware 5, Elmira 2.
