Late night second round action found Monroe battling the River Falls Wildcats for the right to move on to Sunday's championship game. The opening shift set the tone for the entire night as Rob Schroeder scored in just 44 seconds from a Jared Dillon assist. The Avalanche would press on with a relentless intensity that the Wildcats could not answer. Team captain Luke Kuberski would find the net five times twice assisted by Blaze Janecke. Janecke would score one of his own from a Ruger Hansen assist while Dillon added another from a Kuberski assist. Goaltender Aiden Runkle recorded 21 saves as Monroe's unrelenting determination earned them an 8-1 victory, and a spot in the championship game.

With a state title on the line and a heavyweight opponent in the Sheboygan Lakers - a team that had not scored less than seven goals in either of their first two wins with a margin of victory never smaller than five goals - the Avalanche fought their way to a first strike as defenseman Broc Kuberski connected with his brother Luke up ice to spring a breakaway goal. The Lakers would not be put away so easily, though, as they would find the net five consecutive times. Monroe trailed 5-1 at the end of the second period, but renewed energy would see the Avalanche win the third period with Ruger Hansen assisting once as Luke Kuberski earned his second hat trick of the tournament. Late game heroics couldn't provide enough lift, though, as Monroe fell 6-3. Goaltender Aiden Runkle recorded 21 saves as the Avalanche ended their season with a remarkable state tournament effort, and a second place finish.
