After a scoreless first period, Blake Tosto put the Dutchmen on the board at 11:36 of the second period, taking a pass from behind the net and knocking it home.
 
Just three minutes later, thanks to a strong effort in their offensive end, Darion Benchich made it a 2-0 game with helpers from Cade Freer and Brad Viola.
 
Alex Borowiec put the Dutchmen ahead 3-0 with a power play goal at 1:28 of the third.
