| Team | Final |
|---|---|
| Gloucester | 7 |
| Triton | 8 |
It took a two-goal fourth quarter comeback and what Triton coach Donna Andersen called a "Doug Flutie-like hail marry toss" before Paul Bishop (1 goal) scored the game-winning goal in overtime for the Vikings to knock off Gloucester, 8-7.
Trailing most of the game, the Vikings finally became more disciplined defensively in the fourth quarter, and with applied pressure were able to create turnovers that led to two Caleb Woodward (2 goals, 1 assist) goals to tie the score in regulation.
Triton, however, was not finished with the late game dramatics. With less than a minute to play and down a man, Chris LeSage was able to steal the ball from Gloucester in the Viking defensive zone before heaving a long pass that landed right in front of the Fishermen crease. In the ensuing scramble Bishop picked the ball up and buried the game-winner.
For the game the Vikings' Will Joy had two goals, Craig White had one goal, Josh Arango had two goals, Burt Comins had an assist as did Caleb Noble.
