After an early own goal against the Huskies gave Portage Central a 1-0 lead, Portage Northern finally put it together late in the second half: a shot on goal by Carter Broeckel that wasn't cleanly corralled gave Alex Almazan an opportunity to put the equalizer home, leading to overtime. Meninga and Spettel scored within 20 seconds of one another with just under two minutes to play in the opening 10 minutes of OT to put the game out of reach.
