Orono regained the lead at 6:24 of the third on a second goal by Pisani from Dunham and Sutton. It looked like this might be the winner but with only 18 seconds left in the third, Thedford scored a power play goal and sent the game into overtime. It wasn't long into OT that Nathan Caruana scored a short-handed, unassisted goal to give the Leafs and Martin the win. The arena was filled to capacity capacity on Sunday and the crowd was filled with anticipation. The Leafs stormed out onto the ice with Crashley between the pipes and held a 2-0 lead at the end of the first. Scoring for Orono were Richter from Cox and Sutton and Sutton from Heerschop. Midway through the second, Moffat put the Leafs up 3-0 and the Thunder mustered up one goal late in the period.
