The Tars got off the bus ready for action.  Rollins poured in the first seven goals and led 7-1 at the end of the first quarter.  Ryan Dunn used a Brandon Carlin pick to beat his defender from behind the goal to get the scoring started.  Dunn assisted Connor Coltharp for Rollins second tally.  Bailey Pringle notched the next two goals, dodging by his defender for the first, and converting a fast break opportunity, with an assist from Grant Long for the second.  Finn Jent, Marshall Ellison, and Carlin each ripped unassisted scores to make the score 7-0.  The Lions found the back of the net once before the whistle sounded.
 
Saint Leo tallied the first two goals of the second quarter, cutting the Rollins lead to 7-3.  The Tars responded with a pair of tallies of their own.  Jent netted his second, and Pringle completed his hat-trick to bring the lead back to six, at 9-3.  Each team would find the back of the net once more in the half.  The Lions scored their fourth, before Carlin ended the period, dodging down the ally and burying a shot to send the teams to the locker rooms with the score at 10-4.
 
Rollins grew their lead to eight by the end of the third quarter.  The Lions found the back of the net first before Long fired a rocket low to high shot for the Tars first second half goal.  Saint Leo cut the score to 11-6 before Rollins rallied of a three goal streak.  Pringle started the run with a behind the back gem; Jent then completed his hat trick, and Parker Mosack registered his first goal of the game to make the score 14-6.
 
Saint Leo registered the first two goals of the fourth quarter, cutting Rollins advantage to 14-8, but that was as close as the Tars would let the Lions get.  Bailey Pringle netted three straight to seal the game away.  Saint Leo recorded a consolation with 11 second on the clock, as the Tars sailed through the final whistle.
