Ketlo looked confident between the pipes for Lethbridge. Greg Fraser hit Scott MacDonald with a great centering pass from behind the Horns net but Ketlo stood tall to shut him down.

Mason Conway's chip pass up to Henke allowed him to unload a wrister that snuck through Stanford's five-hole to give the Horns the lead at 5:23 of the second period.
 
But their lead would be short-lived. After Nate Flemming's shot hit the post, Wilson grabbed the rebound and buried it at 6:29, knotting things right back up at ones.
 
With Luke Lockheart in the box for holding at 16:15 the 'Horns power play unit was put to the test. Ryon Moser was stonewalled by Stanford after McMullen found him open in front of the net and, as time expired in the frame, Hayden Rintoul's off-angle shot was confidently gloved down by the UBC keeper.
 
Hoban's shot from the high slot snuck under the crossbar at 4:47 to give his team a critical third period lead.
 
Mitch Maxwell came streaking into the UBC zone looking to answer back but Stanford stayed with him and his effort was quickly diffused.
 
The 'Horns went on the PP at 9:44 after Brendan Underwood was called for interference. After earning three shorthanded markers in last night's game, Luke Lockheart's effort was swiftly kicked aside by Ketlo.
