The Buckeyes added a power play goal in the second period for a 3-1 advantage and then had goals at 1:28 and 10:49 of the third for the 5-1 final. Fritz had his second multiple-goal game of the year while Schilkey, who assisted on the last three goals of the game, had a career high three helpers and matched his personal best for points in a game.

At 12:24 Fritz took a drop pass from Greco and scored on a wrist shot past ND goalie Cal Peterson. Junior Craig Dalrymple had the second assist on the goal. At 19:04 the Irish got on the board when Steven Fogarty tallied on a rebound. Each team had 10 shots in the period and the Irish had the only power play of the stanza.
