As the first period neared the half, Tamia Jones took a shot for Point to try to get the Skyhawks on the board, but the Grizzlies made the save to now go into halftime scoreless. 

The Skyhawks came into the second half by making a few stops to halt the Grizzlies from adding any other momentum at the start. Keiry Bonilla took a shot for the Skyhawks but the goalie, Natilda Waldt, tallied another save for Georgia Gwinnett. The Grizzlies added their final goal of the game to now lead by three. The Skyhawks were unable to put any points on the board as they were held to a shutout in the match.
