The Eagles scored with 56 seconds on the clock before Joseph Cavazos scored his third of the game with 25 seconds remaining to bring the score 14-2 entering intermission.
 
The Lions would not allow a second half goal, as Kai Scarlet, Aden Mina, Tommy Lien, and Carter Knutson each added to the lead in the third quarter.
 
The fourth quarter was controlled by the Augie Renezeder, who scored five of his seven goals in the final period.
