Tibbett entered the contest just 5:19 into the game with Air Force already in front 3-0. But, Tibbett slammed the door shut on the Falcons, allowing only a third-period goal, as Mercyhurst chipped away at the lead and, eventually won. Tibbett stopped 24-of-25 Air Force shots in relief for his second victory of the season. Tibbett stopped two shots the remainder of the first period, 13 in the second, and nine in the third for the victory.
