Two minutes later Cote tucked away a man down goal. Raegan Hachey was next to follow putting away another unassisted goal for the AMCATS bringing the score to 10-4. Yokabaskas buried the AMCATS fifth goal of the evening off a free position shot, cutting the Blazers lead in half just before the end of the first half.

Despite tying the Blazers at four in the second quarter, the AMCATS only found the back of the net two more times throughout the second half of the game. A feed from Altif in the third quarter would set up a goal for Cote for the AMCATS sixth of the night.
