On Friday all the games goals were scored in the first period, the Voyageurs came close with a goal that was disallowed late in the game due to the net being off its moorings. Reid Mitchell scored the lone Voyageur goal.

Saturday's game was one the Voyageurs may look back at for some time, Portage was ahead by 2 goals several times in the game and was never to finish off the Trojans. Ian Hall had 2 big points in the second as Portage scored 3 goals in about 5 minutes; Including Leo Keefers first as a Voyageur, but SAIT was able to keep it close.
