In the first, Cardinale Iii opened the scoring for Evansville with a goal at 3:56 with a helper from his linemate Alvegran. Keil answered for Peoria with a goal at 7:50 with assists from his linemates, Miller and Radley. Power-Wayvon quickly followed with a goal at 9:38 with helpers from Finley and Healy. Mchenrey deposited what turned out to be the game winning goal at 13:56.

The Mustangs’ victory was in no doubt helped out by Meyer’s big night as he stopped 25 of the 27 shots he faced. Meyer’s counterpart, Tucker, also had a big night, managing to stop 4 of 7, but ultimately fell short.
This win brings the Peoria Mustangs’ record to (3-2-0-0).
