Assists went to Hutcheson, Kyle Roth, Brayden Powell, Mike Schlotzhauer, Boyd (2), and Brady Roth, with Mason McKay providing strong play on defence. Segeren was once again solid in goal in recording the shutout. Game 3 was back in Tavistock on Saturday the 16th and proved to be a close game. After Waterford opened the scoring, Tavistock scored three straight goals and led 3-1 late in the game. Waterford scored with 30 seconds left to make it interesting, but the locals were able to hang on for the 3-2 win and a sweep of the series.
