West Michigan answered back with another goal to go up 4-1. At 2:31 Casey Gilling put a shot past the goalie on a nice pass from Frankie Pucci and the Indians went to the dressing room down 4-2. In the third period the boys came out flying and at the 14:27 Mike Miller put a rebound past the goalie, assists going to Nick Camarrata and Trevor Temple. Twenty six seconds later Cole Lussier took a pass from Frankie Pucci and Casey Gilling to go in on a breakaway and buried the puck past the Hounds goalie to tie the game. At the 8:10 mark Trevor Temple took an nice pass from Brian Stack and TJ Zajac to score what turned out to be the game winning goal. Brandon Gordon shut the door in net to solidify the win.
