\nChris Carthew (Chestnut Ridge) opened the scoring for the Wolves at the 8:41 mark and following an Altoona goal, Adam Erlichman (Bedford) sored with just 12 seconds to play in the opening period, off an assist from Ryan Ferguson (Bedford) to give his team a 2-1 advantage.
\nIn the third period, with the Wolves down 3-2, an unassisted goal by Taz Zielezinski tied the game again.
\nAltoona went ahead 4-3 at the 6:45 mark in the period, but once again a shot that just beat the buzzer retied the score for Central PA. With 0:12 on the scoreboard clock, Josh Kennedy (Spring Cove) put the puck in the net with an assist by Carthew.
