Buchmann began his scoring spree eight seconds later bagging three short handed goals in 18 seconds. His fourth red-lighter came at 9:49 of the middle period. Stephen Magnuson assisted on all of Buchmann's goals. The Jr. Stars tied the game at 5 apiece at 11:13 of the second on a goal by Drew Eirich.
