Idaho’s Nick Canade broke the ice in the first five minutes. After Jurmo’s goal tied the game at 1-1, the Steelheads scored three unanswered goals and played a sound game defensively to earn the win.

Ty Pelton-Byce added two more goals for Idaho, while C.J. Walker scored the eventual game winner.

The game featured two fights in front of a paid crowd of 4,026. Maurizio Colella and Aaron Hyman both registered their first fights as members of the Rush.
