Before the second period was out, Mitchell Smith increased the Paladins lead to three with his third goal of the season.

David Chubb of St. George's, Nfld., gave the Gaels some life with his fifth of the season just two minutes into the final frame but Lim would score just before the 10 minute mark to seal the victory for the Paladins.
