Nick Conrad beat a double-team with 2:11 to play in the first period to give MU a 3-0 lead and Floro netted his second of the period in wrap-around fashion a minute later. Three goals within four minutes in the second period, capped by Tyler Kilar, who went top-shelf to the upper left corner, to make it 7-0. 

Eddie Dyle dominated the third period with a pair of goals and MU added three more in the fourth, capped by Lucas Kalscheur, for the 14-2 win.
