Leading Ashland in scoring was Brett Hulmer with 14, Tyler Hunt scored 11, Don Gordon added seven, Bryce Miller scored five points, Kevin Huybrecht added three and Zach Huybrecht scored a single point for the Oredockers.

Cloquet led 32-26 lead at halftime and then pulled away by outscoring Ashland 35-15 in the second half to take the road victory.
