A goal by Holy Book Hockey, 15 seconds in, Nick Oyola high on a one-timer during an odd-man rush from Dominick Ognibene, would put them ahead, before Oyola would go low from Angelo Pizzuto, for 2-0. The Biohazards would fire back with Joe Greco on a breakaway backhand, but Holy Book Hockey would answer with Dan "Hollerin'" Halleran from Mike "Merf Dog" Merfert, after a brilliant feed and off the pipe finish. A late Biohazards first period goal would come in the form of Matt Grunenthal from Dave Peterson, and it would be 3-2 Holy Book Hockey going into the second period, with it 12 all on shots. The second period would be all Bookkeepers, who would tally twice, first with Merf Dog on a fabulous wrister, then with Halleran from Merf Dog. Holy Book Hockey would outshoot the Biohazards 14-7, for a game total of 26-19. Eric Brozek and his phenomenal goaltending would frustrate the Biohazards who would need a net gain of three in the third period, especially after his perfect second period. Brozek would deny the Biohazards so far in the third, but an Angelo Pizzuto cross check would mean a Biohazards power play. Greco would make that power play count with a goal for 5-3, then the Biohazard would have another crack at a power play due to a Joe Fallacaro cross check, and again Greco would make Holy Book Hockey pay, this time from Achilles Alon, for his hat trick goal. All of a sudden it was now a one goal game, but Matt Grunenthal would go off for a hook and a Holy Book Hockey power play. The power play goal parade would continue, this time with Hollerin' Halleran from Andrew Molesky, and would now be 6-4. Merf Dog would then bring it to 7-4 unassisted, complete his hat trick for 8-4, and Jared Maples would cap off the scoring from Ognibene for a 9-4 Holy Book Hockey win. The final shot totals were 41-28 Holy Book Hockey. The Stateside Tap + Tavern Man of the Match Award was won by Mike "Merf Dog" Merfert (3G, 2A).
