Later in the first, Drew Williamson tipped an Eric Marks shot through the five hole to give the North Stars a 2-1 lead. Austin Garrett then got his first SJHL goal to make it 3-1 North Stars.

The Bruins got a couple quick goals before the end of the first period from Drew Beasley and Noah Asmundson to tie it up at three heading into the second period.

About seven minutes into the second, Gavin Granger took the puck coast-to-coast down the boards and put it off the post and in to give the North Stars a 4-3 lead. Shortly after, Cash Olsen found Rylan Williams alone in front to tie it.
