Cortland jumped out to a 7-0 lead after the first quarter, while five different players scoring a goal in the frame. Rothman opened up the scoring on a rebound less than three minutes into the action, before Klay Stuver scored a man-up goal to make it 2-0. Neeson then provided assists on goals by Kole Stuver and Stoecker, before Thrasher intercepted a pass on a clearance attempt, and sprinted to the cage for his second goal of the year to make it 5-0. Klay Stuver and Rothman both netted goal in the back half of the period, with Rothman's second goal of the game giving him 100 for his career.
 
Cortland outscored Oneonta 9-3 in the second quarter to extend the lead to 16-3 at halftime, with Scanlon scoring all three of his goals in the period, and Klay Stuver tallying two goals in the frame again.
 
Cortland opened up its largest lead of the game with the first two goals of the third quarter, one by Neeson and another by Nathan Nagengast, with 10:32 remaining. However, Oneonta closed the quarter with the final four goals of the frame, reducing Cortland's lead to 18-7.
