Rittner Buam SkyAlps – S.G. Cortina Hafro 3–0 (1:0, 1:0, 1:0)
A fast-paced, hard-fought game unfolded at the Ritten Arena.

Early in the second period, Fink tipped in a Madsen shot to make it 2–0. Cortina pushed hard in the final period, but goaltender Furlong preserved his shutout with several strong saves. Near the end, Cuglietta scored into the empty net to complete the 3–0 victory and Furlong’s shutout.
