Newcomers Matty Moran, Payton McSharry, Ray Zimmerman and Stuart Pearson led the offense most of the night with three first-period goals. Some familiar faces added to the victory with goals from C.J. Banter and Dylan Goggin.

Every score by the Cyclones was executed quickly. The Cyclones scored their first goal in 15 seconds. There two other scores in that period and the last one came in 30 seconds after McSharry snuck one past the Warrior goalie. At the end of the first period the Cyclones had thirteen shots and the Warriors only had five. Senior Nikate Kozak was strong at goalie, allowing the Warriors just one goal over the course of the weekend.
