Tyler Harvey briefly tied the game at 2-all before the Lancers retook the lead. Denzel Tate scored the final goal of the quarter to make it 3-3 after one period.
 
LMU scored the first three goals of the second period as Kade Margain opened the scoring and Abel Romero Corbalan accounted for the next two. CBU closed out the period with the next two goals to pull within one at the half.
 
The Lancers tied the game at 6-6 early in the third quarter before Tommaso Baldineti and Abel Romero Corbalan pushed LMU ahead by two.

From that point on, it was all Lions as Jonny Rimlinger scored three goals over the final 2:12 of the quarter and Baldineti added one of his own. 
 
The first six goals of the fourth quarter all went LMU's way as well. Romero Corbalan scored on his fourth of the day on the opening possession, then Baldineti followed, and Augie Renezeder beat the keeper all within the first two minutes of the fourth quarter. Baldineti scored his fourth of the game to double up the Lancers, 16-8. Rafael Salonikios beat the keeper on a penalty shot before the midway point and Rimlinger scored his fourth of the game to increase the lead to double digits.
