Traylen stopped all five Rage shots, while Reid set aside all 11 Bucks shots.

Rocky Mountain got on the scoreboard seven minutes into the period when Trevor Weisgerber scored on a break away past Traylen making it 1-0. The Rage made it 2-0 nearly three minutes later when Daymen Rycroft scored on the power-play, with former Bucks captain Brent Cullaton picking up an assist. Rocky Mountain stretched their lead to 3-0 just over a minute later at the 11:17 mark when Scott Wray scored from the left circle. The Rage closed out the scoring at the 14:50 mark when Colt King scored the Rage's second break away goal of the period making it 4-0. Rocky Mountain outshot Laredo in the second period 15-8, with Reid making all eight saves for the Rage. The four goals given up by the Bucks in the second period were the most they have given up in a single period all season.
Laredo got on the board at the 13:03 mark of the third when Jeff Bes scored his 10th goal of the season to make it 4-1. Matt Summers and Igor Agarunov picked up assists for Laredo.
