Despite being outshot 46-31 by the Raiders, netminder Adrian Ignagni once again turned in another solid performance, stopping 43 shots to preserve the Buzzers victory.

Anthony Marra would score the only goal of the third as the Buzzers held the fort the rest of the way for the 5-3 victory.  Shane Conacher and Adrian Ignagni were named first and second star respectively with Brendan Woods named the third star for Georgetown.  Game five in the best-of-seven series will take place on Monday, March 18 at St. Michael's College School Arena with puck drop at 7:30pm.
