Shortly thereafter at 16:48 of the second, Norfolk's Jim Vandermeer scored a power play goal of his own to give the Admirals a 3-1 lead at intermission.

The Admirals poured it on in the third period when Eric Nickulas and Duncan Keith scored goals to give Norfolk a 5-1 lead. Keith finished off the hat trick at 19:47 of the third to round out the scoring.
