Salles would give the Lancers their second lead of the game with his 3-point goal just over four minutes into the second quarter. Wichita would take an 8-5 lead into the locker room at half time after Hoxie and Miguel Ferrer scored for the home side.
The Lancers would score the only two goals of the third quarter as Evan McNeley set up Brayton Knapp for an easy back post tap in goal and then scored himself. The 9-8 lead after three quarters was the Lancers third, and final, lead of the game.
