Parker Clennon opened the scoring for the Hawks in the 15th minute, finishing a feed from Brennan Malmstrom to give Hermantown a 1-0 lead at halftime.
Grand Rapids pulled even early in the second half when Ben Blake converted a penalty kick in the 49th minute. The match stayed tied until Nelson’s late strike in the 79th minute sealed the victory.
Goalkeeper Ethan Aysta kept Hermantown in front with 11 saves, while Grand Rapids’ Hayden Jackson stopped nine shots.
