The Thunder took a 10-point lead into the break and then doubled it during the third period to finally gain full control of the contest.

Roseville was led by Nick Schwyzer's 12 points, and the Tigers also got eight points from Trey Rosenberg and seven from Jordan Magnusson.

Cody Kale scored 28 to lead all scorers, as the senior was the only Rocklin player in double figures. Alika Lemon scored nine points for the Thunder.
