The Raiders put up 27 shots in the first frame, including Jake Oswin's first career goal, as the Raiders ended the first quarter up 5-0 on the Cougars (0-6, 0-2 NACC). The Raiders would continue to pour on the offense, as Savard locked up a hat trick at the 14:41 mark of the second quarter on his way to five goals. The Raiders defensive performance matched the offense, shutting out the Cougars in the first half as Paul Breuck racked up seven ground balls in the first half, while Carson Harris contributed two caused turnovers.
