After the Rhinos tied it 2-2, the Bugs regained the lead in the 2nd as Duke Ehrhard rifled home his third goal of the series from the RW circle to make it 3-2. Once ELP evened the score again, it was Jeremiah Roberts in the slot gunning home his second goal as a Bug to push SHV on top to 4-3. The Rhinos would respond again w/ a tally late in the period to make it 4-4.
