Sacred Heart opened the scoring in the first period after a miscue from the Union defenders and goaltender, leaving Gavin Bryant alone in front for a sweet backhand finish.

Riley Brueck got Union's first of the game about six minutes after the Sacred Heart goal, and it was all Chargers from there on, as Union piled on eight unanswered goals in an offensive onslaught.
