Allen jumped on the board first in the opening frame as Greger Hanson fired home his 16th of the season from the left wing on a pass from Chad Costello. Jamie Murray picked up the second assist. Then Joel Chouinard gave the Americans a 2-0 lead from Costello and Hanson and the Americans took a 2-0 lead to the room. Wichita outshot Allen 13 to 9 in the first period.

Allen outshot Wichita 19-to 11 in the second frame to lead in shots 28 to 24 after two period of play.
The Americans picked right up where they left off in the second period, scoring three more times in the final frame.
