With plenty of time remaining, the Knights stayed the course as Andrew Sprague, Harsh Easwar, and Da’Mien Taylor tightened up the Knights’ defensive flanks. With that job done, the Knights’ offense advanced as Steven Pereira (2), and Harsh Easwar (1) went on a three- goal surge giving the Knights a 5-3 lead. Assisting on the three goals were Joyce Gabrael, Steven Pereira, and Harsh Easwar. Down by two goals the Wizards ramped things up with Nate Cintron, Michael Egan, and Victor Mendolaro seeing action in the offensive mix which helped to set up Kyle O’Hara’s zipline pass to T. J. Wolf who made it 5-4 with his third goal of the bout.
