Originally, scheduled for earlier in the season, the game was postponed due to scheduling conflicts and Eastern clinched first place with the victory.

Sullivan and Orner did a good job keeping the puck in, Tunstill was in the right position along the right side of the net, and he buried it for a 2-0 lead. Then, Orner won the center ice face-off and hit Sullivan flying down the left wing and his cross-ice pass to Tunstill was right on the tape and Tunstill just re-directed the puck and all of a sudden, it was 3-0. Early in the second period, Johnston broke in with Anthony DeFino and when the defenseman committed to Johnston, he slid the puck to DeFino and his quick shot made it 4-0. Just a few minutes later Dan Tavana stole the puck and his shot found the net and Eastern led 5-0. Back-up goalie Manny Rayo made several stops from in close to preserve the shutout, but Colin Corley broke through for Moorestown midway through the period to make it 5-1. Tunstall got that went back about ninety seconds later and Eastern led 6-1 after two periods. Orner and Mike Bodine traded goals in the third period as Eastern skated away with a 7-2 win.
