Last year, the Wildcats defeated the St. Francis Lancers in the championships, and they were seeking to retain their crown. 

Trevor Moore broke the ice for Los Gatos High School a couple minutes after the opening salvo, allowing them to catch up.

Towards the end of the period, Brody Marleau scored a second time (off a rebound)—to put the Cats ahead 3-2 going into the third.

The Warriors tied things up with 9:40 left.

Jhosh Alvares got two in quick succession to put the Cats ahead 5-3.

The Warriors made it a one-goal game on a power play goal, with 4:13 remaining.
