Koehler's third goal made it 6-3 with 1:03 left in the third after Comsewogue failed to score on a pair of shots moments earlier. Pat Fleming made 14 saves for Sayville, including several key stops in the third quarter to help the Golden Flashes preserve their lead.

Kenny Scotland scored both of his goals in the second quarter for Comsewogue (16-2), the second tying the score at 3 with 5:43 to go in the half. Sichenzia scored with 45 seconds to go in the half to give Sayville a 4-3 lead at the break.
