Ryan Thompson made it 2-0 early in the second period and Kyle Kovervas added a goal forty seconds later for a 3-0 advantage, scoring on a breakaway. McMahon and Kyle Manny scored goals two minutes apart and the lead was 5-0. Timber Creek could not generate much offense and Maugeri closed out the period on a feed from Garvey for a 6-0 lead.
