In a well played game by both teams the Vipers squeaked out a 2-0 win over a well coached Top Gun Elite team with 2 third period goals. Both Zach Laramie and Top Gun goaler Kyle Martin did everything they could in this one to keep goals at a premium but it was the Vipers who struck first as Dante Maribito fired an off-angle shot from the wall that eluded the Top Gun tender for the 1-0 lead, that went down as an unassisted power play goal. The 2 goal keepers exchanged incredible 2 save set sequences immediately after another in this exciting back and forth game. The Vipers defense led by Steven Tettoni, Patrick McCarthy, Aaron Dollin, Ryan Connearney, Alex Delvento and Christian Kukas buckled down as the game wore on and did a fine job in their own end. The Vipers would bang home an insurance goal with about 2 minutes left in this one as Noah Maercklein would pounce on a loose puck in front and pop it in over the shoulder of the goalie, Maribito and JT Chamberlain also picked up assists on that goal. The Vipers now advance to the Championship game against league rival Red Rangers.
