The series sweep was concluded March 8th, once again in Millbrook. Both teams played with outstanding determination and grit. Exceptional goal tending was on display by both teams, with the Stars goalie, J. Metcalf turning in an amazing performance to record the shut out in a 1-0 victory. Earning the trophy and the championship was the result of the entire team's effort with every player providing significant contributions to the game and outcome.
