Leading 1-0 after one period, Hicks scored his second of the game on the power playing as he re-directed a goal-mouth pass from Jayden Maida. Bryce Twible also assisted on the play.
Jaden Bennett scored what proved to be the winner in the third on a nice pass from Taylor Cooper.
Aigne McGeady-Bruce had an assist on the first period goal by Hicks.
