MENOMONIE (January 10, 2011) - In a wide open game that wasn't sealed until

Stout (11-5-0, 6-4-0 NCHA, 4-2-0 WIAC) jumped out to a 2-0 lead with two quick goals in the first period.
Robert Carr (Sr, Roseau, Minn) opened the scoring four minutes into the game and
Branden Gay (Sr, Calgary, Alberta) followed up with an unassisted goal three minutes later.
The Falcons (6-8-1, 2-6-0, 2-4-0) cut the lead in half when Caleb Wolfgram scored midway through the period and the teams went into the locker room with Stout leading 2-1.
Kevin O'Donnell (Fr, Stoughton) gave Stout a 3-1 lead with two minutes left in the second period.
The Falcons cut the lead to one again, this time getting a shorthanded goal by Josh Calleja four minutes into the third.
The puck went up and down the rink until
