Almost immediately thereafter, Tyler Zameroski scored off an assist by Teddy Mazaheri and subsequently Trevor King scored off an assist from Nate Patterson. Then, Alex Knarr took a pass from freshman Noah Paterson and scored the Pioneers' third goal. At the end of the quarter, L-S led 4-2.
Nate Patterson notched another assist to start the second quarter, this time helping Patrick McClain find the net. Red Lion immediately retaliated and had another opportunity after an L-S foul, but Sindorf stayed strong in goal. Eventually, however, the Lions were able to tie the game at five by halftime.
