The Bucks got on the scoreboard first against the Killer Bees. Immediately after a successful penalty kill defenseman Adam Rivet came out of the box and took a breakaway pass. Rivet streaked in and feathered the puck five hole on the backhand for his 13th of the season at 12:08. Later in the period Laredo capitalized on a power play chance. Rivet teed up a shot from the point that was redirected by Kouba at 18:13. It was his 10th of the season and made it 2-0 Bucks.
In the second period the Bucks extended their lead to 3-0. Kouba scored his second of the game on a wrist shot from inside the left circle at 14:27.

At 17:09 the Killer Bees got back in the game on a power play chance as forward Jason Cirone backhanded in a loose puck.
Halfway thru the third period Bucks goalie Eric Marvin made a terrific save on Killer Bees forward Mark O'Leary to protect the two goal margin. With time ticking down Rio Grande Valley pulled the goalie trying to score, but inadvertently put the puck in their own net. Forward Igor Agarunov was credited with the goal to finish the scoring at 19:18. FINAL SCORE Laredo 4, Rio Grande Valley 1.
