SHV got on the board at 1:19 of the opening period as Andrew Seminara slipped in his third goal of the season to put the Bugs up 1-0 early. Bryce Boucher picked up the only assist on the play. The Bugs extended their lead late in the opening period as Jonah Jasser jolted in his fourth tally of the year on a penalty shot to make it 2-0 at 18:26.
