The first two came from McKay as he picked up three goals in the first quarter while sophomore Kevin Tighe started the second quarter with a goal of his own.

However, Rhodes did not go away as they responded with three unanswered goals to tie the game at five. Millsaps took advantage of a penalty in the last two minutes as a goal with a man up by sophomore Brandon Allison gave the Majors the lead back while freshman Scott Budd added another goal before the halftime whistle to make it 7-5 going into break.

The Majors extended their lead in the second half lead as Budd picked up two more goals and Allison added his second goal of the day to give Millsaps a 10-5 lead early in the third quarter.

McKay got it into Rhodes territory and got it to Stevison, who mirrored what he did almost a minute earlier as he found the back of the net with seven second remaining to give Millsaps the game winning goal.
