This is Canisius' fourth Monsignor Martin title in five seasons and the Crusaders did it thanks to a huge fourth quarter performance.
Canisius took just a 10-6 lead into the final period and outscored the Red Raiders 21-14 in the fourth.
The Crusaders now look to win their second state championship in three years.
