Just 2:46 into the reconvened game Peterson would score his second goal of the contest. The Knights struck for their lone goal as Tryone Bronte tipped a shot passed Ryan Keane to make it a 3-1 game with 7:57 left in the period. Two minutes later Frye would score his second goal of the game to make it 4-1. Later in the 1st period, Knights goalie Christian Stoever made an initial save, but Jensen Zerban was there to pick up the rebound and put it into the open net to give the Rebels a 5-1 lead with 3:33 left in the first. Noah Finstrom would pick up his first NAHL goal of the season 2:53 into the second to make it a 6-1 game, and Carson Moniz would score his eleventh goal on the season to make it a 7-1 game.
