The Vipers who would be playing in their second tournament final in 3 weeks were looking to come out on the plus side in this one as they took on the host Cyclones. The Vipers would get on the board first as Noah Maercklein would slide one through the 5 hole for a 1-0 lead after 1 period, Brendan White and Ryan Connearney would pick up the helpers. Dante Maribito would score the next  2 goals on identical plays as he took advantage of a lot of open space swung the net and deposited his goals short side. JT Chamberlain would assist on the first and Ryan Connearney and Kyle Hentosh would pick up assists on the second. The Cyclones would cut the lead to 3-1 late in the second but would really never threaten after that as Kyle Hentosh slid a backhand through the 5 hole midway through the third to ice this one, Heath King would add an assist on the play. The Vipers showed some nice discipline in the third as the hosts resorted to some questionable play taking 5 penalties and a misconduct in the 12 minute third period.  Goaltending and defense did a fine job all weekend only giving up 3 goals the entire tournament, while playing without the sick Alex Delvento, the Forward units also responded well playing shorthanded as Kyle Lynch missed the entire weekend as well as he recovers.
