Alexander Paulus had four goals, four assists and one groundball to pace the Shipbuilders. Oliver Kruze added a game-high five goals, Perry Chase chipped in three goals, one assist and two groundballs, Alec Beveridge three goals and two groundballs, Matt Buczkowski two goals and an assist, Otto Werwaiss two assists and D’Vaughn Myers one goal.
