The Lakers took an early 1-0 lead on a goal from Diego Cuglietta just 4:25 into the contest. That lead held into the second period, but not much further.
Adam Rockwood struck just 55 seconds into the middle frame to even the contest for the Wildcats. Darien Craighead then potted the first of his two goals in the contest just 1:15 later and the Wildcats held a 3-1 advantage heading into the third.
J.T. Henke shaved one goal off that lead with a power play goal at 14:58, but the Lakers could not get any closer before the final buzzer sounded.
