After being outshot in the first period, the AMCATS picked up the pace, putting pressure on the Colonels defense. Despite outshooting Curry 17-7 in the second period, the Colonels still managed to capitalize on a back door rebound, increasing their lead to three just over ten minutes into the second period.
