After a scoreless second period, the Nanooks added a pair of quick goals to start the third period. Garrick Perry had a breakaway early in the frame which Maine goalie Romeo stopped, but Colton Sparrow was on the doorstep and scored on the rebound at 1:39. UAF made it a 4-1 lead at 4:02 when Atkinson found Alec Hajdukovic on the far post and he redirected the puck into the goal.
Maine cut the lead to 4-2 at 17:03 when Devin Shore (Ajax, Ontario) scored as he was falling to the ice. Brown picked up his second assist of the night on the goal.
Alaska added an empty net goal by Brandon Morley at 18:54 to give the Nanooks the 5-2 win.
Alaska finished the game with a 22-21 edge in shots on goal. Maine was scoreless in four power play chances, while Alaska finished 0-for-3 with the man advantage.
