RBM scored three times in the next period to take the lead for good. Peracciny scored unassisted, Nick Wood (Akron) from Dodge and Ryan Mettler (R-H) from Dodge and Peracciny giving the locals a 4-3 lead.
In the third period, RBM iced the game on goals from Joel Harris (B) and Wood, with assists coming from Peracciny (2) and Dodge once again.
RBM returns to league action Saturday evening with a critical game against City Honors/Cardinal O’Hara, the only team to beat them in league competition this season. That game is at Cornerstone Arena at 7:40 p.m..
