The Vipers controlled this one from the start and never really let the Islanders get on track as they advanced to the finals of the EHF Championship game with a 4-2 win. Special teams played a big part in this one as the Vipers PK killed off a 4:30 major penalty in the middle of the second period. Braden Haley got he 4th seeded Vipers on the board first as he one timed a beautiful centering pass from Noah Maercklein into the open left side, Brendan White picked up a helper also. The Islanders would come back and tie it up in the second but not for long as Kyle Hentosh (2-1-3) would blast a one time feed from Kyle Lynch (0-2-2) upstairs off the bar for the 2-1 lead. Kyle Hentosh would stretch it to a 3-1 lead as he finished off a beautiful 2v1 with Lynchy, Christian Kukas started the play with a nice outlet to Lynchy. Dante Maribito (1-1-2) would make it a 3 goal lead early in the third as he popped in a Hentosh rebound off the post. The Islanders would try to make this one interesting with a late goal in the third but the Vipers would not let them any closer. Aaron McDonnel was solid in this one between the pipes and he was helped with some solid team defense. Ryan Connearney, Steven Tettoni, Aaron Dollin, Patrick McCarthy, Christian Kukas and Alex Delvento would stand out on the blueline
