Lintner got into the scoring column 51 seconds later when he took a pass from Tyler McWilliams to make it 6-1.
  • The Tigers made it 6-3 after opening the second-half with back-to-back goals. An unassisted strike by Cameron Linsley at 9:21 of the third quarter sparked what would prove to be a 4-1 run to close the quarter and was capped by a McWilliams goal with 49 seconds left on the clock.
  • Stucker struck again 55 seconds into the fourth quarter on an unassisted man-up goal that made it 11-4. Robby Moore, Kevin Jackson, Will Pilat, Colin Mackenzie and Lintner all scored in the final 10:42 of the game to seal the win for the Maroons.

  • Ian Davies started in the cage for Roanoke and made four saves during the first-half, while Burke McManus made 11 stops in the second-half. The duo was part of a man-down unit that held Sewanne to 1-for-7 on man-up chances, with the one goal coming with just one second remaining in the game.
