The Bucks outshot the Rayz 12-9.

Late in the second period, Chris Robertson scored from the left side of the crease to recapture the lead for the Rayz. Robertson's 11th at 18:42 made the score 2-1 and sent the Rayz into the dressing room ahead of the Bucks at the end of two periods.

In the third period, the Rayz took control scoring twice in 28 seconds. Derrick McIver scored a rebound goal at 14:24 from Robertson and Matt Holmes. Then Mike Rees blistered a one-timer from the top of the circles at 14:52 to make the score 4-1. Corpus Christi earned their second three-goal win over the Bucks in as many weeks.
