The Purple Eagles scored just four minutes into the second period to extend their lead to 3-1. Jack Richard found the back of the net for the goal. The Lakers answered right back with a goal from Garrett Dahm. Dahm ripped a shot from just inside the blue line and found the top left corner of the net. Just a few minutes later the Purple Eagles scored again, this time it was off the stick of Aron Jessli. The Lakers answered that goal with one of their own late in the second period. Trent Sambrook grabbed the puck out of the air and found Boris Skalos who looped around the net. Skalos fired and scored to make it 4-3 Purple Eagles.
