The Shamrocks continued to fight, scoring once more to make it 4-3. Their high-pressure defense left them vulnerable, and Powers took advantage. Logan Johnson set up Mather for his fourth goal, extending the lead to 5-3. Despite their best efforts, the Shamrocks managed another goal, making it 5-4 with 15 minutes still to play.
