Later in the period, forward Alex Pelletier would tack on another for the Stars to extend the lead at 2-0. Just less than three minutes later, forward Bruno Idzan of Lincoln would add another to make it a 3-0 Stars advantage. Finally, with the just 10 seconds to go in the opening frame Lincoln would get yet another-this time on the power-play thanks to forward Gio Digiulian to stretch Lincoln's commanding lead at 4.

In the second period, the Lancers would be able to slow down Lincoln's offensive attack a bit however, forward Michael Sandruck would manage to get another tally for the Stars to make it 5- 0 heading into the third and final frame.

In the third period, the Lincoln Stars would proceed to play keep-away and just kill the clock and go home with the 5-0 win.
