Steven Anderson scored twice in the first 12 minutes, both off assists from Scott Barber, to put Medina on top to stay.

Albion did cut the deficit to 2-1 on a goal by Cam Usselman with six minutes to go in the first half. However, Medina answered right back just a minute later as Greg Husung scored off an assist from Anderson to give the Mustangs a 3-1 lead at the break.
