The Panthers took the lead back during the period, but another Tolliver goal tied it up again, then Tyler Roberts scored with 22 seconds left in the quarter, putting Noblesville up 7-6.
Purvis opened the fourth period by scoring 48 seconds into the quarter. The Millers held the lead from there, with Tolliver and Roberts both adding goals.
“They played with more patience and were able to bounce back a bit after a few tough losses to some of the best teams in the state,” said Noblesville coach Mark Milam. “Park Tudor played hard and should be very proud of their performance.”
