The Warriors capitalized on their opportunities in the first jumping out to a 3-0 lead on only 8 shots with goals from Kendall Schulz, Cortez Favot and Royden Spence.
Dryden rebounded with goals from Tanner Henderson and Nathan Ho, but late injuries to Cale Overb, Brent Pollard and Collin Lapointe hampered the comeback attempt.
