St. Thomas started the game outshooting the Warhawks 3-0 in the first 11 minutes.  Austin Saari (River Falls/River Falls) got off the first shot by a Warhawk at 11:35 and St. Thomas goalkeeper Jace Leiferman was forced to make the save.  Leiferman was forced to make another save at 18:25, this time off of a shot by Jonathon Fischer (Hartland/Arrowhead).

St. Thomas fired off two more shots in the 22nd minute, both of which Warhawk goalkeeper Aaron Sesselmann (Green Bay/Notre Dame Academy) had to step in and save.  The teams went back and forth with shots, fouls, corners and substitutions, but it was Saari who finally broke through in the 41st minute scoring his first goal of the year on a pass from Edward Horrocks (Milton Keynes, England/Ousedale).

Horrocks increased the Warhawk lead to 2-0 just under four minutes later with his first goal of the year, Jared Denu (Waunakee/Waunakee) recorded the assist.
