The final game saw a rematch with the Londonderry Wildcats. Joey Suozzo used his blazing speed to get to the edge and take the Bulldogs first offensive possession to the house. From there, the defense took over, with big stops from Lawless, Proulx, Rousseau, and Gaudreau shutting down the Londonderry advance.
