Ben Claffee responded with a solo run with 13:43 showing before Jason Heeley won the ensuing faceoff and went right to go to put McDaniel back in front seven seconds later. A pair of Jackson Reilly (Churchton, Md./Southern) goals gave the hosts a 4-2 lead with 10:12 remaining before Erich Wuesthoff and Jude Brown responded a minute apart to draw the game back even with 6:41 on the clock. Fegan sandwiched a pair of goals around one from Wuesthoff to make it a 6-5 game after the first quarter of play.
• Brown finished a pass from Jack Conway then hit Wuesthoff for a 7-6 Seahawk edge with 8:34 to play in the second period. Fegan finished off a pass from Bryce Brookhart to tie the game with 7:23 on the clock before Reilly finished from Carson Marshall (Brookeville, Md./Glenelg) for his second man-up tally of the game and 8-7 edge just 26 ticks before halftime.
• Frank Kratovil (Stevensville, Md./Kent Island) found DeLoriers just 2:58 into the thid quarter before Jackson Kratovil (Stevensville, Md./Kent Island) connected with Dylan Vitale (Forked River, N.J./Lacey Twp.) 1:48 later for a 10-7 lead. Brown hit Cameron Linger and Wuesthoff 2 minutes, 35 seconds apart to pull St. Mary's back within one with 4:44 showing. Jakob Katzen, however, hit Sean Allen (Gaithersburg, Md./Gaithersburg) on a long clearing pass that the Seahawk goalie tried to pick off but instead left Allen with a wide open net for an 11-9 lead, starting the game-clinching 7-0 run.
• Fegan scored from long range after Marshall forced St. Mary's into a bad pass on a clear attempt just 18 seconds into the fourth quarter. Marshall then netted an unassisted tally 1:15 later. Micah Brooks (Woolford, Md./Cambridge South Dorchester) finished from Reilly before returning the favor less than a minute later to push the lead to 15-9 with 9:48 to play. Marshall needed just 10 seconds to make it 16-9 before Frank Kratovil scored from a bad angle to cap the run with 8:39 showing.
