In the third Falk scored his second of the game to make it 6-4, Romweber got back on the board with another goal for the 7-4 lead.  Pingry answered back as they did all game long, but Romweber's third goal of the game gave Delbarton back it's 3 goal lead, 8-5.  The Big Blue scored two straight to end the third, bringing them within one goal at 8-7, but the Green Wave defense came up big in the fourth.  Brandon Fodor scored a huge insurance goal for a 9-7 lead which would stay through the end of the game.  

Romweber finished with 5 points on teh afternoon, while Tanner Shimko made 6 saves.  The faceoff x was a huge advantage for Delbarton with Phil Minardo a perfect 7/7, Kane Quenault 5/6 and Christian Troczynski 6/8.
