It wasn't until 64 minutes into the game, when the Adams State Grizzlies scored the first goal of the game. Senior Benjamin Rogers scored with the assist from another senior, Josh Garcia. The Grizzlies tried hard to prevent the Hardrockers from responding, but six minutes later, South Dakota Mines answered back. Trent Ripley scored with an assist from George Martinez. The game was tied up at one, which made the last 15 minutes of the game very interesting. The viewers remained on the edge of their seat, whether they were at the game or on their couch as the score was like this well into the 86th minute.
