Drew Williamee (Canandaigua/Canandaigua Academy) scored less than a minute into the third quarter off an assist from Swedlund to give Cortland a 7-5 advantage, but Skidmore scored three times in a row to take its first lead of the game with 1:05 left in the third quarter after Weiner's second goal of the game.

Cortland won the ensuing faceoff but turned the ball over, while stepping offsides on the following defensive possession for a 30-second technical penalty. Lawson capitalized to give the visitors the 10-9 lead.
 
Cortland once again won the faceoff, but Gadbois made his 10th and final save with under 40 seconds left, and Skidmore cleared and killed the remainder of the clock to secure the upset victory.
