In the second period Freeburg came to life with a goal by B. Bittle at 10:21 and another by C. Flynn (assisted by A. Nickens) at 8:37. The Eagles answered with a goal that was quickly followed by another Freeburg Goal at 4:41, this time by A. Nickens (assist Hoge). Bethalto scored another goal to end the second period with a score of 6-3.The Eagles started the third period by scoring 2 more goals but the end of the third period belonged to Freeburg. A. Nickens put on quite the show when he scored at 3:11 (assist T. Rainbolt, B. Sawyer), and again at 2:40 (assist C. Flynn), and yet again at 1:43 to bring the Blue Rage within 2 for a final score of 8-6.
