Pembroke opened the scoring in the first period with Andrew Meiniger’s goal at 9:58. Matthew Walilko put the visitors up by two scoring at 13:36.

After a scoreless second period, the Bears found the net at the 5:31 mark of the third, when Ryan Gibson scored. He was assisted by Mitchell Larabie and Kyle Dowdall.
It wasn’t until the 12:25 mark that the Bears tied the score with Hayden Hart’s goal, assisted by Hunter Garlasco and Marc Shannon to force the overtime period.
It didn’t take long for Pembroke to take the win as Jarrad Vroman scored at 1:46 for the 3-2 upset.
