Nick Pontoriero stopped 34 shots as Riverfront defeated Mainland 3-1 in playoff action at the Igloo. After a scoreless first period, Brandon D’Amato scored at the seven minute mark to give Riverfront a 1-0 lead. Later in the period Ryan McCormick would add a power play goal and a 2-0 lead after two periods. Pontoriero looked strong in nets through two periods and kept Mainland off the board. Daniel Taylor would score short-handed for Riverfront to make it 3-0 in the first five minutes of the third period.
Mainland would get a power play goal from Brendan Allen with just over five minutes left in the game but Pontoriero would shut the door and Riverfront would hang on to the 3-1 victory.
