Freshman Chris Kaleta (Angola/Buffalo Jr. Sabres) led Cortland with a goal and an assist. Junior Jarrett Gold (East Setauket/NY Bobcats) and sophomores Jake Saville (Bellingham, WA/Marquette Rangers) and Alex Arthur (Portland, ME/Boston Bulldogs) each scored a goal. Freshman Mike Lysyj (Hillsborough, NJ/South Shore Kings) added two assists, and five other players picked up one assist apiece. Sophomore goalie Mike Reilly (New York/Bismarck Bobcats) made 18 saves.

Junior Nick Petriello (St. Catharines, ON/St. Catharines Falcons) and freshman Trevor McKinney (Oakwood, ON/Peterborough Liftlock Stars) each scored a goal for the Bengals. Four different players chipped in with an assist. Sophomore goalie Alan Fritch (Saginaw, MI/Hudson Valley Eagles) turned aside 42 shots.

Saville gave Cortland a 1-0 lead at 12 minutes, 57 seconds of the first period, flipping a rebound over Fritch just as a Buffalo St. penalty expired. Arthur made it a 2-0 game at 15:30 of the opening period when he put a low shot through Fritch's pads on a partial breakaway.

At 6:10 of the second period, the Bengals trimmed Cortland's lead to 2-1 as McKinney beat Reilly on a rebound on delayed penalty. Kaleta answered less than three minutes later with a one-time shot from the slot to make it 3-1 heading into the third period.

Gold pushed Cortland's lead to 4-1 at the 3:55 mark of the third period when he knocked in a rebound after the Red Dragons forced a turnover. Petriello made it a two-goal game on the power play with a one timer from the right side at 15 minutes. The Bengals, however, took two penalties in the closing minutes and were unable to pull Fritch for an extra skater.
