The game was scoreless until 9:20 into the second period when Beezer Skime deflected a Drew Erickson shot that gave the Prowlers a 1-0 lead.  The Prowlers lead was extended to 2-0 as Chris Forney scored a power play goal just 10 seconds into the man advantage.  At the end of two periods the Prowlers led the Green Wave 2-0, while also having the advantage in shots 16-13.

The Green Wave cut the Prowler lead to 1, as Tucker Pooleman scored on a delayed penalty.  The Prowlers were able to regain the lead as Micah Ranum scored a rebound goal, shot by Matt Audette.  Ranum would get his second goal of the game on an empty net, to give the Prowlers a 4-1 win over the Green Wave.  The Prowlers improve to 5-1 in Section 8A.
