How it Happened
  • Albion seized control early, scoring four times in the first period to build a 4-0 advantage. Carthage broke through late in the quarter as Jake Westland found the net on an unassisted man-up opportunity with 1:14 remaining, trimming the deficit to 4-1 after one.
  • Carthage carried momentum into the second period, opening with three of the first four goals. Westland scored twice in the quarter and assisted Alex Bailey, helping the Firebirds pull within 5-4 with 1:14 to play before halftime. However, Albion responded in the closing second and scored with 0:01 on the clock to take a 6-4 lead into the break.
  • The third period swung the contest decisively in Albion's favor as the Britons erupted for seven goals in the frame, stretching the lead to 13-6. 
  • Carthage managed goals from Bailey and Brandon Sawicki during the run, but could not slow Albion's offensive surge.
  • In the fourth, Carthage added goals from Kyle Cissne and Sawicki, but Albion answered with a late score to secure the 14-8 final.
