Showdown of unbeatens proved to be a good game. Mercer played a solid disciplined game and their attackmen all finished very well. Issaquah scrapped and fought hard, but in the end, too many mental mistakes and a lack of fundamentals at times.

Chris Taylor found Jacob Sonkin in the high slot to give Mercer the 1-0 lead. Issaquah responded with unassisted goals from Nick Tierney and Jon Matusiefky to take its only lead of the day. Mercer then took control for the better part of the next 15 minutes of play pushing to a 6-2 lead with a minute left in the first half. Issaquah scored twice in the last 20 seconds of the half to pull within two.

Teams traded goals in the opening 3 minutes of the 2nd half for an 8-6 Mercer lead. Issaquah got physical, but couldn't win the groundballs, at times couldn't clear and couldn't find the net. Mercer pushed to 10-6 before Issaquah scored its final tally.

Craigh Cornelius and Nick Tierney both played well. Cornelius finished with two well deserved goals and a great assist. Tierney finished a couple himself. He also played great defense and brought a much needed physical presence with several good body checks.

Despite the 12 goals against, Garrett Johnson played admirably in goal. He made several point blank stops and finished with a season high 13 saves.
