Brendan Hoffman opened the scoring for Idaho with his 11th goal of the season at the 11:20 mark of the opening period. That would be the only goal in the first frame. The Americans jumped on Idaho in the second period scoring two quick goals just a little over three minutes apart. Nolan Orzeck netted his second of the year at the 6:17 mark of the second to tie the game at 1-1. Three minutes later Brian Chambers pumped his second of the season, and first with Allen, into the Idaho net to give the Americans their first and only lead 2-1. Idaho would score the next five in a row. Thomas Caron (8), Nick Canade (4), Matt Register (4), Demetrios Koumontzis (1), and Brendan Hoffman, who scored his second of the game, and 12th of the season into an empty net. This was the first meeting of the year between the two teams. The Americans were 3-7-1 against Idaho last year.
