The first half of the game was a battle for possession between the two teams, with both the Rams and Voyageurs creating opportunities at either end of the field.

The Voyageurs were able to counter with an attack from forward Stephen Fattore (Brampton, ON), however they were unable to convert. Ryerson scored once again late in the game, with Alexander Braletic (Thornhill, ON) netting his second of the season.
