Doolittle opened up the second half with yet another shot on goal. Gonzalez got his chance yet again with a shot with the assist from Doolittle at the 53' mark to increase the score 2-0. Much like the first half the Knights and Trojans traded shots back and forth with Marian tallying three and the Taylor tallying two.

Cameron O'Brien to end off the game.
Seifert and Gonzalez led the team in shots with three each while Doolittle wasn't far behind with two.
