Despite what looked as though an even game on paper, the Statesmen managed to finish on their offensive attempts, while Butler connected on just three of its 41 shots. Hobart took 42 shots on the game and won 14-of-20 faceoffs. Hobart recorded 48 groundballs, while the Bulldogs finished with 32.
John Bogosian scored three of the four Hobart goals in the first quarter to give help his team a comfortable lead. The Statesmen would go up 7-0 with 2:13 left in the second quarter before Rich Pavlick's extra-man goal off a Kyle Tietjen assist finally got the Bulldogs on the scoreboard.
Bogosian, who finished with a career-high six goals, got the Statesmen on the board first in the second half, giving Hobart an 8-1 advantage. Ryan Ward's assist to Jason Soporito at 9:32 in the third quarter cut Butler's deficit to 8-2, but Hobart would score the next four goals to take a commanding 12-2 lead heading into the final 15 minutes.
Each team would score in the final period, with Butler's goal coming from Chris McKay off a Rich Pavlick assist.
