Tri-City took a 1-0 lead after one period on Shaun McEwen's goal at 14:39. The Force took the lead when Zam Plante scored on the power play at 4:20 of the second on assists from Mac Swanson and Owen Mehlenbacher, and Kevin Scott scored at 10:05 of the second on an assist from Anthony Menghini.
Dowiak tied it 2-2 with a goal at 16:55 of the second, then potted the game-winner at 15:31 of the third.
