Â
Concordia came out strong in the first period putting the Badgers on their back foot and eventually finding a goal just over three minutes into the frame.
Penalty trouble for the Stingers took the pressure off the Badgers and
Ethan Sims took advantage, finding the back of the net on the power-play late in the period.
Â
The second period featured a very similar storyline as the previous, as Concordia was putting the pressure on early which resulted in them regaining the lead 13 minutes into the frame.
Yet again, the Stingers discipline found them in trouble and
Zack Stringer took full advantage notching his sixth of the year on the two-man advantage to bring the game level again.
The Stingers' offensive pressure paid off in the third period as they struck nine seconds into the frame before notching three more goals in quick succession to extend their lead.
Ryan Stepien scored a late goal for the Badgers but it proved to be only a consolation tally, as the visitors would hold on for the 6-3 victory.
