The third period featured a 4-1 Panther run thanks to the efforts of Brian Prendergast, Joseph Sciara, Hopper and Tuttle to push the Brown and Gold cushion  out to a comfortable 11-3 advantage.

Two more from Tuttle and one from Hopper in the fourth were matched by three goals from Bentley, but the effort was too little too late as the game came to a close with the score reading 14-6 in favor of the Garden City based team.
