It was Mike Cosentino vs. Mckenzie Chalmers in net. The game started fast and continued that way for most of the contest. Kyle Powell scored early for the Black Bears to break the ice. Ryan Swain and Ryan Marker had the Thunder's two first period goals. The Black Bears added two more goals from Gjurich and Ivashkin to take a 3-2 lead in to the first intermission. Much like the first, the second period saw a good bit of scoring. The Black Bears scored 4 goals in the second, and Delaware added one. It was 7-3 going in to the third. Delaware was able to cut the lead to two with a couple of third period goals from Ryan Marker, but Binghamton would add a late power-play goal to win 8-5.
