It was a scoreless game nearly 10 minutes into the contest when senior Caldwell Rohrbach made a diving save at the end line to save a possession for the Bullets with 5:32 on the clock. The Bullets called timeout shortly thereafter, and with 4:43 left Maddux took a behind-the-cage pass from junior Evan Thomas and buried a shot from the right post for the game's opening goal.

Maddux struck again just 1:23 later, rebounding his own saved shot in front of the net and delivering from the doorstep to make it 2-0. Maddalone made his second save of the game on a rifled bounce shot to preserve the Bullets two-goal advantage heading into the second period.

Dickinson got on the scoreboard when Nick Leon sent home a blast from 15 yards out with 9:42 left in the opening half.

Cannon gave the Red Devils their first lead when he scored in a man-up situation with 1:22 on the clock.

The Bullets held a 10-9 edge in shots in the quarter, but Hanley made five saves.
