However, just over a minute later, Varsity responded with a goal from Quinten Lange, assisted by AJ Hull, leveling the score. The Warriors quickly retook the lead less than 30 seconds later, making it 2-1. But Mason Meskimen had other plans, tying the game once again with just 2:43 remaining in the period, thanks to assists from Darren Rys and Dillon Brandenburg.

The second period saw a shift in momentum as LW outscored the Warriors 2-1. Landon Pote found the back of the net with assistance from Quinten Lange, who was proving to be a pivotal player throughout the game. Jack Drozdek then added another goal for LW, assisted by Jimmy Maurer and Marty McCauley, giving the team a narrow lead as they headed into the final period.
