Corey Rufo lit the lamp for the Mustangs halfway through the 1st period with a dangle that ended up top shelf.  Netminder Kevin Ivany was a victim of a goalie explosion that saw him, Bethan Taddeo and a North Reading skater all yard sale onto the ice. A split second later the loose puck was potted by North Reading and despite of the blatant interference the game was tied 1-1. North Reading game out hot in the 2nd period threading one past Ivany to make it 1-2. MEB's Rufo was on his game as he made his second goal of the afternoon look easy minutes later to tie things up. North Reading capitalized on a mismatch and scored 3 goals in 3 minutes to end the 2nd period 2-5. In the 3rd wing Joe Melanson, who had pushed the puck up ice all game, fed Rufo for his first career trick of the hat to bring MEB within 2 goals. Defenseman Jeff Melanson broke up a North Reading assault and got the penalty call prior to a North Reading goal as MEB let up at what should have been a stoppage of play. Instead North Reading shot and squeaked one through the 5 hole to make it 3-6. A confused and deflated Mustang team let off the gas and allowed North Reading to score two more. Coach Jim Taddeo mixed things up and called on defensive specialist Jake LaVerde to crash the North Reading net in the left wing slot to muscle a final goal in.
