Sophomore Mike Lozano scored the game-winning goal off an assist from freshman forward Tommy Heinzman at 6:47 in the third period.

The Lions were able to hold their lead through the remainder of the game thanks to the solid goaltending of Michael Hails. Saving 22 out of the 23 shots he faced, Hails was named the first star of the game.

This is third time the Lions have earned the title, with the last coming in 2010.

The Lions finish the 2015-16 season with an overall record of 27-10-0.
