For team T&J players were Kris Holderied, Dean Kildow and Shelly Laukitis. For the Black Holes, the shooters were Karen Weston, Josh Weston and Sue Rennolds.

Team T&J scored first with Kris Holderied backhanding a top shelf shot. Karen Weston shot for the Black Holes but was blocked by Michelle Hatton. Dean Kildow and Josh Weston both scored for their respective teams.

Shelly Laukitis won the game for T&J with a deke to the goalie.
