The Nepean Raiders tried to dig themselves out of a two-goal hole, but the Cornwall Colts held on for a 2-1 victory.

Cornwall took a 2-0 lead during the third period, only to have Nepean storm back on a Dalen Hedges goal 13:33 into the third period to pull to one goal down.

The Colts' Jordan Piccolino was a brick wall in net, as he came up with 32 saves and let only one puck past him. Despite the solid performance, Piccolino will actually see his goals against average rise, as it stood at 1.0 entering the contest.
