The braves came alive after the break and with more precision shooting and continued volume against Sterzin scored four unanswered goals in the third and added a fifth at the top of the fourth before the next Fairport goal. Senior Evan Roth, who was a key member of the Canandaigua defense picked up a number of key ground balls from his wing position of the face off.

After securing the ball on the first draw of the second half, Roth took the ball to the cage and scored the first goals (unassisted). The Braves scored two more in just over two minutes to take a 4-1 lead. Henderson received the crossing feed from senior middie Andrew Knoblauch for a goal at 11:08 and scored again at 9:56 on a flip pass from Nick Mumm. Mumm ended the scoring in the third with his unassisted goal, cutting from behind the cage for a shot just past the goal line extended.

Down 5-1 at the top of the fourth, Fairport expected to return and started a run of three unanswered goals starting with a man up goal by Aaron Jones from an outside shot to the top off-stick corner and an assist by McDonnell. With just over 5:00 left in the game Saylor sent the ball cross crease to Paul Dancy who fished with a wrist shot from the crease. At 3:56 senior goalie Scott Bement took a hard shot to the groin and left the game for 0:32 seconds, replaced by backup Anthony DeLeo, who saw no shots during the substitution. Fairport scored the last goal of the game at 0:11 when Dancy scored again with an inside pass from Saylor.
 
In a game of two excellent early season teams, Fairport did well to keep the powerful Canandaigua offense from scoring. Sterzin who ended the game with 21 saves (78%) was key in this effort, but the defensemen in front of him were patient and worked well together. Too many turnovers, particularly when clearing, gave the Braves most of the offensive ball time. Canandaigua longs sticks were equally skilled, but their ability to move the ball down field and produce shots was far more successful.
 
Scoring for Canandaigua were Tanner Scharr (1g), Connor Henderson (2g-2a), Evan Roth (1g), Andrew Knoblauch (1a), Nick Munn (1g-1a) and Justin Tomzak (1g). Scott Bement recorded 9s/4ga.
